"I Have A Cold"

One day this past week, Max insisted he have one of his extra blankets. He spread it out over his lap, making sure his feet were well covered. Then he told me, "I have a cold, Mama." I asked him, "Do you mean you feel cold?" "Yes, Mama, I feel cold." But then a few minutes later he would tell me the same thing. "I have a cold, Mama." We'll work on that grasp of the English language. He sure was good for a while, though, sitting there quietly reading a book!
