The Baby Who Cried Sick

There once was a little baby girl who had two very loving parents. These parents were new, so they weren't the hardest to fool. One day, the baby girl began pulling on her ears and fussing all night. So, her loving parents did the only thing they knew - they took her to the doctor. After careful examination, the doctor said the precious baby was the picture of health. This discouraged her parents, but they pressed on. A month or so later, this sweet little angel once again began tugging on her ears and fussing. A cough here and a cough there later, she was back in the doctor's office. This time she MUST be sick. Certainly, she wouldn't take advantage of her parents' eagerness to protect her and their innate ability to overreact again...would she? YES, indeed she would. Another walk of shame from the pediatrician's office for mom and dad. Amelia is now officially the baby who cried ear infection. The moral of this story? Well, it's twofold - 1) we are really lame, overprotective parents 2) Mia's ears will have to fall off before I take her to the doctor again. So, if any of you see her walking around without ears, you will know what happened.
