Allergy Humor

Me: Adelaide, we're going to be going to another doctor next week.

A: Why?

Me: We're going back to see an allergist. But a different one than you saw when you were a baby. We're going to see if you can eat eggs now.

A: Oh! And maybe I can eat peanut butter?

Me: Maybe. The doctor is going to do a test to see if you can eat eggs and peanut butter.

A: And maybe he can tell me if I can have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Me: That's right, sweetie. Maybe you can eat peanut butter and jelly this year! But we'll have to wait and see what the doctor says.

{a moment of silence}

A: And maybe the doctor will tell me if I can drink beer?

Ben: Um, no... you'll have to be 21 before you can drink beer.

{another moment of silence}

A: Maybe I can eat eggs when I turn 21.

Me: Yes, honey. Maybe so.
