Well, yes, actually there can be a well timed illness! If you aren't prepared for the test and wish you had more time to study, a fever can be very helpful.
Not this time. Will felt poorly all yesterday afternoon (after lunch at Subway). He slept poorly, too. At 5:00 am he came to wake me up and tell me he still didn't feel good. I was only half awake, but the conscious part of my mind dimly registered the noise of the toilet eternally refilling in the background. You know how the stopper in the tank sometimes gets stuck? That noise was filtering through, so I got up to deal with it since Will had already awoken me anyways.
Apparently, while I was mending the toilet, Will realized he needed a toilet RIGHT AWAY! and bolted for the downstairs throne. He could have used the kitchen sink, but none of our minds were fully functioning at that time. He didn't make it. At least he made it to the bathroom, though. It could have been worse! He has been slowing regaining good health today. He probably would have been better right away if he hadn't have held it in so long!
Today was to be the first day of the High School sponsored lacrosse camp that only runs for 3 days. He didn't make it today. I don't think we will bother with it at all, actually. We are going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter (oh, you think a little food poisoning is going to stop him from going, do you? Think again!) which would make him too tired to get to the second day. So why bother paying for only one day?
