Backstory: My mom sent me a thermometer at school because everyone is getting sick. I texted her back to tell her I already had one, and to ask her if she wanted me to return the extra one. She just had foot surgery and is a little loopy.
Me: Much appreciated but I actually already had a thermometer. Do you want me to bring the extra home?
Mom: Keep it. some day You may want to verify temp orally and rectally ;)
Me: What is wrong with you!! Did they amputate your soul when they operated on your foot????
Mom: PERCOCET!!!!
“amputate your soul” LOL…..that’s too funny

Yeah, my mom’s been on Percocet too – it’s too bad it was a back injury and she couldn’t use the computer! (Phone conversations were hilarious, though!)

My mother always took our family’s temperatures rectally a couple of times a day when we were ill as children. Needless to say, the prospect of a cold glass thermometer being regularly pushed up our wazoos meant that my brothers and I NEVER EVER faked illnesses to get off school…!
