Preschooler Angst

So Sam hasn't been feeling great. It started over the weekend with a fever and a cough. Even though he said he didn't feel bad, he couldn't walk from the living room to the kitchen without resting (neither can I and I'm not even sick). But Sunday we were sitting outside eating lunch when he got a strange look on his face. I know now it as the 'about to vomit' face.

"Sam? You OK?" I asked him, prepared to dash over and remove anyone and anything in his trajectory.

"If everyone in the family would just leave me alone, I might be," he said.
