Pretty Sick

XX is a single-eyelid boy, most of the time. He's not bad looking but occasionally, when he develops double-eyelids, his eyes became more mesmerising, glistering under those long eye lashes that most girls would die for.

However when this happens, we know that something's not right. Whenever he develops double eyelids, it is usually when he is about to fall sick or get a fever. We now know that the glistering came from his watery eyes. It happened the last time when he had Kawasaki disease.

Two days ago, XX's double eyelids came out again. Hubby commented, "this is not good." Sure enough, later that night, he had fever. We can also hear that he's got some nasal congestion. Luckily the fever was quite mild and a few doses of baby Panadol later, he should be on the road to recovery.

He probably got this from KK, who must have got the germs from school. KK was the first to complain that he wasn't feeling too well last week. However he did not develop any fever and only had runny nose and a lot of flam. Then I too started to feel discomfort in my throat but it got better on its own 2 days later. XX must be the latest victim of this virus.

It's an irony. I do love the sight of his pretty eyes, but at the price of his health? I'll rather he just stay single eyelid.
