Get well soon! I know I have abit of the same flu. Ginger-Ale, Saltine crackers and plain toast help. As many of you already know I'm sure. :)

"Hmmm....I wonder if Dad would want me to puke into the mug or beside it?" Wait, is she feeling better in this picture? Hope you are all doing better.

"Mom always said Chicken Soup (in a mug) cures all." She was right!

Sometimes when I think really hard about something i stick my tongue out like that too.

OK...I tried the vomiting trick to get out of going to day care...what's next?

BARTENDER - Another one - PRONTO!

is that mug from the flying biscuit in atlanta?? Yummy!!

hmmmm, i dont know dad, maybe you need to take a 10am nap.

"What is BIDS, Mr. Trebek?"

As God is my witness, I will get better..

'okay, fevers down, puking has subsided....time for this girl to cause some trouble!'

'Maybe if I just bite my tongue and concentrate real hard on the Baby Einstein video, I can keep this one down...errr...ughh... On second thought, here come the flying Saltines...'

Alternately:
"Hey, Dad! Where's my popsicle?!?"

Next on Wild Kingdom: The sly Trixie readies herself to pounce on the unsuspecting Ben, weakened by illness, that has strayed from the protection of the herd...

"Did someone put DECAF?! in this mug?"

I'm no doubt abusing my quota but one more now that I've read today's very funny dialogue-

"Dad I can't go today; I think I'm coming down with Ebola."

"Dad may be incapacitated, but I'll be darned if that's gonna impede the release of the Trixie Tracker. Oh yes, I WILL debug this code!"

"Break's over--back to business." (Monkey business, that is!)

"Let me put it this way: if you weren't my dad, this mug would be very far from us by now."

Hmm, there is a chocolate bar over there, would make me feel better....how do I get it???

I just couldn't resist another one....

"Hmmm, since Daddy didn't give into the crying, and only kept me home from daycare when I was sick, I'll have to keep up this sick thing so I won't lose my quality time with him. (Not sure how that little TV - the one with the keyboard - with pictures of me can really compete with the real thing.)"

Dad, what's the deal with leaving me in the highchair? Why aren't we playing? Daddy, you're lookin' a little green.

Laura: The mug is actually from a film called "The Flying Messenger" that I did a little design work for many years ago. Don't bother going to IMDB -- it didn't make it that far.

Thanks for all the funny captions everyone! Not that my opinion should pull any more weight than any other reader when it comes to these things, but I wanted to give props to my favorites.

Becky: How could I have not seen that she is clearly getting ready to pounce *and* is licking her chops. Thanks for the warning!

lisabo: Looks like Trixie is a mean drunk!

michele: I wish she had concentrated that hard to keep it down.

Keir (Leka's dad): Trixie spent all day at the computer while I was curled up on the floor. Trixie Tracker will now be released in 2009.

"I am finding out that one can keep it down if you concentrate on releasing from the other end; up your shares in disposable diapers"

By the way, I still have invites for google email if anyone is interested.

As my young grandson said to me, "you want a piece of me?"
