Show-And-Tell Herpe
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So on monday my outer upper lip was stinging a little. By evening it was puffy. By Tuesday morning it was a full out cold sore aka bad ass herpes sonofabitch. I’ve never had one before so this was my first time and I had no idea how to treat it or anything. I just know that cold sores are contagious so I was really cautious around Zoe. After work when I went to pick her up at school she was playing in the play yard outside with all the other tots. She sees me and comes running to hug me and sees my mouth, points at it and goes in a little concerned voice….
Zoe: Mommy what is that?
Me: It’s an ouchie.Zoe: What happen?
Me: Um…a bug bit me. (this was the easiest explanation that I thought she could understand)
Zoe: Oh. A bug bite you?
Me: Yeah.
Zoe: Ohhh. Are you ok?Me: Yeah.
Zoe: Do you need a bandaid?
Me: No. I’m ok. (thinking how cute she is…)
Then the cute factor evaporated as she proceeded to turn around and yell to all her friends “Ehbreebody! My mommy has a ouchie! Look!!!” and then proceeds to point her dirty grubby finger at my face. Next thing you know I have like 10 kids all under the age of 3 in my face like I’m some sort of science experiement and they’re all like “Ouchie?” or “Aya ya ya?!” and pointing THEIR grubby little fingers all up in my face! And Zoe is giving all the kids a little run down…
Zoe: A bug bite her. Ehbreebody no touching. It’s ouchie. My mommy says ‘No bug! No bug! (holding her hand up doing the hand motion for stop) Go away!
Then after her big production it’s like she remembers that I told her it hurt so she turns to face me again and says “Do you need a bandaid mommy? You want me to kiss it?”
NOT NOW AFTER YOU TOLD EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER! Plus I didn’t want her to get it.
And that is how I became her ‘show-and-tell’ item to bring into school for 5 minutes. Some kid even sneezed on my face while examining my sore. Thanks. Thanks a lot. It’s been real. Let’s not ever do this again.
:: 05.01.10 :: Stony’s Baby Shower + Playing w/ Oliver
After the party we headed home so Miss Zoe could take a nap before we headed off to Bayside to have dinner with the Patels. This is Oliver. Zoe talks about him from time to time still. I told her on Wednesday that daddy was coming home late because he was having dinner with Uncle Pinky, Uncle Chris, and Uncle Vaish. As soon as she heard ‘Uncle Vaish’ she said “I want to see baby Oliver.” Isn’t Oliver a cutie?! He’s Indian/Chinese and he got some BIG ASS FEET. I’m talking HUGE. You know what big feet means?! Big socks! Mmmhmm.

omg…the baby on the left’s face is priceless. It’s like he smelled a fart or he’s about to poop a huge one.
haha So cute!
LOL I’m staring at their little feet and comparing them… hahahhaaaa
LOL. the boy sneezing on you really topped off the situation.
shes too cute to shake… lol i dunno
LMAO yeah I don;t know what I would do without my dose of Zoe funnies. It’s like my pick me up of the day! The little boy is so cute, that is the first time I have seen that mix he is definitely going to be a looker.
i love how Zoey had to make the announcement. so funny. so painfully funny. at least it was just tots and not the kids and parents looking at your ouchie.
@SarahakaHungry - i know. that’s what i was thinking. at least it’s 10 tots who think my cold sore is like the most fascinating thing in the world instead of 10 parents who are like “i wonder where she got that hideous thing from.” hahaha
OMG, I’ve been getting cold sores since I was in elementary school (I probably played with some dirty a** latchkey kids when I was young), and only those who’ve actually had the damn herpes simplex erupt on their lip truly understand how absolutely horrible it is. I typically get an outbreak when I’m extremely tired or stressed, or if I’ve been out in the sun for a prolonged period of time.
I don’t know how bad yours is, but there’s OTC medication, such as Abreva that you can pick up (doesn’t work for me), or you can ask your doctor for a prescription that typically clears it up in one day. But seeing as that you’re pregnant, be sure to ask your OB if its safe to take.
Or, you can just wait it out for it to heal on its own. Again, I don’t know how bad yours is, but it’ll get bubbly (like…tens of tiny bubbles!) and hurt like hell, and then they’ll eventually pop and scab over. At this time, the cold sore doesn’t hurt anymore, but it looks freaking disgusting, and like the (Abreva?) commercial lady says, “I feel like everyone is looking at me!” I commiserate with that commercial lady, because really….everyone IS looking at it! (Not meant to make you feel bad, though, because I totally understand what you’re going through.)
From my understanding, you may transfer the virus to your husband by kissing him, but for some people (my husband included), they’ll have/get the virus, but it’ll stay dormant their entire life and never have an outburst. Lucky damn bastard. So….yeah, try to avoid kissing your husband and daughter while you have an outbreak. Sorry.
Neosporin… I put that on everything. Can my daughter bring you to her show and tell?
The baby on the left has the funniest little sneer.
OH MY GOSH!!! I SERIOUSLY LOL’D!!! SORRY
Wow, I can’t believe how well Zoe speaks at her age. She’s quite advanced, isn’t she?
