Plagued by the Croup

Schatz (who is the picture of health this morning): Mommy, you need to take a shower.

Me: Excuse me?

Schatz: You need to take a shower so that I can sit on the potty and breathe...like the last time when I was (inserting best fake cough). I have what I had last time.

Me: The croup? You have the croup?

Schatz (gravely): Yes, Mommy, I have the croup. You need to take a shower.
