Overheard

Jakob:  I'm getting sick...
Channing:  Maybe you are getting Leukemia.
Jakob:  Yeah, then I can go to your hospital and have lots of fun.
Me:  We don't want Jakob to get Leukemia, Leukemia is not fun.
Channing:  But my hospital is fun, I love my hospital.
Me:  But you get sick and get pokes there...
Channing:  I don't care what they do to me there, they can poke me all they want, and give me lots of yucky medicine but its still fun.

I am grateful that Channing has such a positive attitude about it all, and that we have been able to keep the whole thing a positive experience but it is really weird to listen to my 5 yr olds talk about Leukemia in such casual tones.
