My word. Am I ever glad that toy was broken when we got it home. Ours had no sound and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was supposed to do.

Aaah…. Family illnesses stink. We’ve yet to get strep here, but we’ve definetely had my nephew’s cold travel to me and then to my daughter and wife!

Cool site…glad to have found it!

@Brittany. Wow, you hit the jackpot with the comment spam filter! How strange. Have to look at the settings on that! And yeah, no mosquitoes. It is unbelievable. People don’t even put screens on their windows.

@marisa. Hey! Thanks for finding my blog! So far, the boys don’t have strep. Woo hoo! (Too early to celebrate? Maybe…)

@Threeboys1mommy. Oh, I am so sorry!

@Stefanie and @Gary. Thanks. Awareness is important. But soon I’m gonna have to DO something with that awareness, right? Need more strength…

I have replied to this post 3 times and the one before, but they aren’t showing up:(

Um, the gist of it was to throw the toy in the toilet with your blackberry and hoping your family gets better soon:)

I agree with @stefanie – awareness is a huge step. Of course you want your kids to be on their best behavior around the family – and they are. Your raging sista affirmed that.

My heart goes out to you, when we went to Nebraska last March, we all got sick (Thanks to United’s recycled air) – now the whole family is coming down on us for putting their kids at risk and our CF step-sis in law. We’re sorry – we didn’t do it on purpose!

Not that being sick on the road isn’t hard enough. I feel for you raging dad!

That was a super sweet post and almost made me tear up for some reason. I think being aware that you are being too short with your boys is leaps and bounds above what other people are blissfully unaware of.

Family strep is the the best strep, you’ll learn that. My son peeked over my shoulder just in time for your demo… off to Mc. Donald’s we go.

Wow. That’s some toy. Maybe it’s intended for people who live deep in the country, and hence are nostalgic for the sound of car alarms?

I hope you and the boys manage to avoid the plague!

No mosquitoes…really?!

Looks like I need to move.

You need to flush that toy down with your old blackberry and enjoy some silence…like your car picture…now that’s heaven…
