The Center for Disease Spread

I have come to the conclusion that schools are not really learning institutions, but centers for the spread of disease. People send their sick kids to school where the sickness incubates and finds its way to another kid and then another and then another. Eventually, the sickness finds its way to Princess Gwen who then shares it with Captain Hysteria and Queen McKenzie. Usually from there it goes to the agent of M.O.M.M.Y. while the agent of D.A.D.D.Y. gets a much much milder case of it and ends up in the trenshes with the outbreak monkeys fighting to contain the sickness.

Whatever it is that the Center for Disease Spread has let lose this time involves coughing and sneezy and phlegm and runny noses and a fever. The Princess had the cough and the runny nose. The Queen has it all, but the fever and CH has received everything and top it off with a daily dose of Captain Phlegm Vomit.

Thus far the agent of D.A.D.D.Y. has a mild case which his superduper highly advanced immune system is fighting off even with the constant barrage of face coughing from the Queen and CH.

The Princess is now mostly well after being sent home early from school on Friday with a fever.

The Queen is her usual rambunctious self with occasional pauses for coughing and a underlying layer of crankiness due to not getting good rest due to coughing fits during the night. The Queen insists that the agents feed her soup because she is sick. The agents thus far has yet to comply with the request.

CH is lethargic. He just lays down anywhere so he has been given his cup to keep him hydrated and a pillow and he lays on the pillow watching He-Man Season 1 Volume 2. CH is silently fighting off the intruders to the Hysteria Fortress of Solitude with occasional breaks to expel the vermin via his mighty Hysteria nostrils.

The agent of M.O.M.M.Y. seems to have escaped the infestation thus far, but I'm sure she'll manage to fight it off until CH, QM and PG are well and then the cycle will begin again.
