AARON is NOT SICK today.
Today, Aaron came home with the sniffles and a slight fever. Which never happens because Aaron NEVER EVER GETS SICK.
In fact, since we started dating, Aaron has made it a point to explain patiently that he NEVER EVER GETS SICK. It's his family's immune system crossed with a certain amount of Swedish stubborness.
As the story goes, his great grandfather, Art (on his mom's side), was chopping wood one day and the axe blade FLEW off and hit him square on the head. Sharp side down.
Grandpa Art just grabbed his hat, pushed the two halves of whatever was up there on his head together and mashed his hat over top of it to keep it in place. He made it all the way to the back steps before passing out. But he was NOT going to the hospital.
No way.
Because this family never gets sick.
I made him some hot chocolate to wash down a little Tylenol PM and heated up some chicken soup in the microwave (the extent of my cooking skills) that he could eat in bed because....AARON IS NOT SICK.
Just in case you were wondering.
Thank you.

Aaron, have a speedy recovery.
Was Grandpa's injury fatal?

Thanks everyone. I'm really not that bad.
For clarification, my great grandfather ended up fine, too. He died of old age much later. (He also didn't die from the chewing tobacco he used and often encouraged me to try when I was 8, but that's a different story...)

Your grandfather really was a man who could rightfully say he was of two minds about an issue, wasn't he?

Oh my, what a graphic story! I could picture my own Pop doing the same thing, though.

Nothin' that a large band-aid and a tube of neosporin couldn't fix.

Gack! Ilsabe! My "other man" is coming to town and he DIDN'T CALL?
Yes, of COURSE, I'm going if I can. Jon Stewart has kept me from reaching for tranquilizers during the past 6 years. It's the least I can do.

So funny that the Google Ad on your page reads "Baby Got a Temperature?"
So, what do you say, Aaron Bay-bee :) ?

Aaron,
My wife certainly believes that I'm stubborn but not that I don't get sick. Her one serious assertion about me is that when I'm sick I'm a baby! waaaa.
