Fast recovery

Drake: (faking a cough) Mommy, I don’t think I should go to school today.
Me: Drake, going to school and learning is your job. Are you really too sick to go? (I feel his forehead, notice that he is warm and that his nose is running, but he doesn’t seem to feel unwell.)
Drake: (more fake coughing, laying down on the floor) I’m really really sick, Mom. Maybe you should take me to the hospital.
Me: Well, you feel warm. I think you will need to stay home, just in case.
Drake: Ok, good idea. (Waits about ten seconds, the gets off the floor.) Wow, I’m feeling better! Let’s play!!
Yep, feeling super sick.
