the consequence of sick

This morning Jonah wanted a drink from my water glass. I told him I didn't want him to drink from it because I was sick with a cold.

After a little while he asked me: "Mommy, where is your baby?"

I answered: "The baby is not here. She was too sick."

Jonah replied, concerned: "You're not sick, mommy."

I qualified my statement: "Just a little bit." He seemed satisfied with that and went on to play.

His reasoning was clear as day: if the baby was sick and because of it will not live with us, what about mom? His two-year-old brain never ceases to amaze me.
