Thanks to everyone who left a comment during the 'Tis More Blessed giveaway. Helena is the lucky winner! There will be two more chances in December to win, so be sure to stop by this Friday for another opportunity.
Now for the story.
My nine-year-old son, Bubba, hasn't been feeling well. He wanted me to take his temperature.
"Sorry, Bubba," I said. "All the thermometers in the house are broken." I felt his forehead. "You feel okay. Maybe it's just a cold."
"No, Mama. I have a fever." He stuck his finger in his mouth.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
He held up his other finger, indicating that I should wait. When he was done, he pulled out his finger and looked at it. "Just what I thought. 99.9 degrees. I have a fever."
"A finger thermometer?"
He nodded. "Yep. They're the best kind!"
LOL What will he think of next? :)
ReplyDeleteOnly Bubba would come up with something like that!
DeleteAs long as the finger Thermometer stays oral....;)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I don't even know what to say to that! ;0)
DeleteThanks for the win, Sherry! I'm really looking forward to reading both your books!
ReplyDeleteThey're in the mail. Hope you like them!
DeleteI wanted to say what David said above :)
ReplyDeleteHa! That's a good one!
DeleteCongratulations, Helena!
ReplyDeleteI hope she enjoys the books!
DeleteHopefully the finger thermometer only lingers in the mouth haha
ReplyDeleteYes. It would be bad if it goes elsewhere!
DeleteWell, I guess that's cheaper than buying a new thermometer... XD
ReplyDeleteSure. It saved us about ten dollars!
DeleteHe must have very sensitive nerve endings.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes. Something like that!

DeleteI hope Bubba feels better soon. 99.9 is soooo dangerous!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I really should take him to the ER. ;0)
DeleteI think Bubba would outsmart me every day.
ReplyDeleteHe's a witty one!
DeleteCONGRATS to Helena!
ReplyDeleteI hope Bubba is feeling better. I think I'll stick with my forehead thermometer. : )
That's the kind I like!
DeleteCongrats to Helena - she is a double winner.
ReplyDeleteYes - I saw she won your book, too. Friday the 13th must've been a lucky day for her!
DeleteFinger in the mouth works for wind direction . . .
ReplyDeleteSure. It's a versatile finger!
DeleteLeave it to Bubba to think of a finger thermometer! Hope he's feeling better now and congrats to Helena for being the winner.
