Two things:
1st: My mother and I are not what anyone would call close. We never were "best friends". The most we did when I was younger was tolerate each other. Now that we've both grown older, we get along and talk pretty regularly (like once every two weeks is regularly to me).
2nd: I rarely get so sick that I can't get out of bed.
A few weeks ago I got food poisioned, and it was Monday morning and I told Magnum I didn't think I could get up for work, and he made some comment about how he was sorry that he had to go to work. And, then I said "I need my mom."
Either he knew then that I was on the brink of death because I said I needed my mother, OR, he feared I might call her and she might actually show up on our doorstep.
Either way, Magnum let me stay in bed all day, waited on me, brought me drinks and soup, and ran the business all day.
So, I guess the magic words for me to stay in bed all day are not "but I need you baby" or "I'm so sick"...nope, all I gotta say is "Mommy?" and he comes runnin'. :)
