Conversations with a sick man.

There is a chance that Todd is coming down with something. His throat is quite sore and he is acting like a maniac.
I will attempt to transcribe our conversation.

T- What is the capital of Georgia?

J-Atlanta maybe? Although that doesn't sound right... What did you think it was?

T-Rhode Island.

J-No, more likely Atlanta.

T-What is the capital of Rhode Island?

J-Providence.

T-No. it is not.

J-What is it then?

T-Oh, you know that book that everyone is talking about these days.

J-Huh?

T-That book, you know, by Jane Hathaway.

J-Huh?

T-Or was it Charlotte Deville? or that Hawthorne fellow, they were friends...

J-Do you mean "Pride and Prejudice"?

T- Yes! That's it, Providence is the first in the series.

J-Pride and Prejudice was not a series. Except on TV.

T-It was so! By Anne Stevenson.

J-What are you talking about?!?

T- (very exasperated, but still humored by my incompetence)
The series about the young women who solves mysteries......

J- No. That is not what Pride and Prejudice is about. No. Do you mean Nancy Drew?

T- No, no... not Nancy Drew. There was a boy and a sheep dog. And they lived in a lighthouse. And there were all these secret compartments where they hid things.....

J-I don't think I know this series. Sounds interesting though....

T- Oh, I remember! The Babysitters club!


I did take his temperature and send him to bed. I will hope for the best.
