On Sickness (and Health)

The 13 y.o.: I’d like to go to sleep, but someone stripped my bed.
The Mom: I took it off this morning to wash it since you’ve been sick. Didn’t want anyone to get re-infected.
The 13 y.o.: So did you burn the bedding?
The Mom: You have a cold. Or maybe the flu. Not Typhus.
