Tadhg's cupcakes and bellyaches

Tadhg and dad went on a grocery shopping expedition on Tuesday. Tadhg enjoys sitting in the shopping trolley and looking at the lobsters, fish and other cool things in the shop. When they passed by the cake aisle, Tadhg decided he had to have a chocolate cup cake with a white icing topping. Dad was worried about all the sugar but Tadhg rarely has these treats so they decided to get one. On the way home in the car, Tadhg started eating his cupcake. He continued to eat it when they arrived home and put all the groceries away. He was still eating it when he sat down to watch his favourite TV show, Max and Ruby. Mom and dad were surprised that Tadhg ate the whole cupcake.

Later that night when Tadhg was sleeping, he cried out for mom and dad. When mom and dad went to see what was wrong, Tadhg was throwing up and feeling very sick. Tadhg stayed with dad for the rest of the night while mom cleaned all the sheets and pyjamas. Nobody slept much that night. Mom and dad were worried Tadhg's bellyache was from the cupcake but then they learned that lots of kids were getting sick. There was a bug going around the schools and Tadhg had picked it up.

Tadhg was better by dinnertime on Wednesday. Everyone was relieved. Dad looked back at Tadhg's old blog entries and noticed that Tadhg had a bellyache every February since his blog started. Hmmmmm....
