when i get a craving for something - like in the fall of the year when the air turns crisp, i get a longing to go the mountains of Colorado. i call this yearning "mountain-itis" As in "I got a bad case of mountain-itis. Can we go to Vail this weekend?"
when one of my kids is clingy beyond belief and will not leave my shadow, i call that "mommy-itis."
so over Christmas at my parent's house, my son, Smith, developed a severe case of mommy-itis. had to carry him or hold his hand 24/7. my mom was mentioning it and we agreed he had an acute case of mommy-itis. Savvy, my five year old, overheard this comment and misunderstood the slang.
she calls it The Mommy Virus.
So now, when he clings and demands all my attention....
"Uh Oh! Smith's got the Mommy Virus again."
