Amma told me today that I was not well the past whole week. She said I had the fever. I think I undertsand what she's saying because I wasn't feeling too good the whole of the past week. I did not want to eat, and my body ached continously. All I wanted to do was sleep. Amma kept wiping me with cold water and I cried and cried because it was cold.
The only good thing about having the fever is I got to sleep on the big, big bed with my Amma and my Appa for the whole week.
**********************************
My fever's all gone now, Amma said, but I've got the rashes. What's rashes Amma? As if she understood my question, Amma showed me my leg and I smiled at her. Amma's playing with my leg, I think to myself. Amma ruffles my hair. Amma's baby, she tells me. I smile at her again. I babble back to her.
I go about my play as usual, completely unaffected by the 'rashes'.
