While Master
Po and Mrs. Po babysit granddaughter, Ana, I start to make deep, loud horse laugh knowing
it will get Ana to join me. It sound half like Santa and half like evil villain.
As predicted Ana join right in. Master Po not know meaning of mediocrity and
continue this childish laugh till he start to cough very hard. He no longer
pretending now – he gasping for breath and showing warning signs of whooping
cough (“childish coughitis” – latin for God punish man for acting like 2-year
old)
Also, I must
remind readers that Master Po on floor, next to Ana to better relate mature
activities like forced coughing to little one. Master Po know to use good
psychological techniques when playing with kids.
So Ana not
worry, Mrs. Po reassure her that, “Pappy is just coughing. Don’t worry. He’ll
be okay.”
To our
surprise, Ana replies, “I help Pappy feel better.” – And we not know if she
learns first aid from Doc Foor of Everett, her pediatrician or if she see this
on TV. BUT, she picks up a plastic hammer from a tool set and promptly beats
her pappy on the chest with hammer.
This not
help coughing at all – and it cause Mrs. Po to roar with laughter too. Thank goodness Ana hammer on other side of
chest where there is no pace maker to jar loose. Master Po try to catch breath and ask her to
make leg feel better instead, so Ana switch to hammering on his knee. This not
feel much better since Master Po also in need of two knee replacements. But he happy his pulse is functioning
normally. He finally catch breath and
stop laughing and coughing long enough to tell Ana to go make Mrs. Po’ leg
better and Doc Ana obliges.
Next time
Pappy not play on floor with Ana, especially if hammer is within reach.
