His Independence

Johnathan stayed home from school today with an upset stomach. He's thrown up three times now. He is supposed to start swimming lessons today, but will have to wait until tomorrow to start. He is very sad and I feel bad for him. His stomach hurts him a lot right around the belly button area. I was bringing Alex home from school and talking to Darrel on the phone discussing the possiblity of Johnathan having something wrong with his appendix. Johnathan beeped into my call and so I hung up with Darrel and was talking to Johnathan asking him where it hurt. I was asking him if it hurt in the middle or on one side or the other when Alex pipes in from next to me, "ya mom, because if it's on that one side, it's probably his independence."
