If the pig sneezes ...

With Spring comes bugs, and not just the creepy ones on the pretty flowers that our kids bring in for us to smell, leaving them on the kitchen cupboard for said bugs to then crawl off said flowers into our flour canister! 

There is also the invasion of other bugs including chicken pox - ever wondered why it is called "chicken" pox?

Well, according to parentsoup.com (as opposed to chicken soup), the name originated because those vicious bumps apparently, to those centuries ago, look like chickpeas and, the Latin word for chick pea is cicer, and you can see where this is going can't you?

Tissue companies love spring, hay fever, colds, flu etc = big profits!
Loved this cartoon, I took the liberty of changing the words a little, the original was R-rated.  Let's hope Piglet doesn't get swine flu.

I pose the question - if Pooh Bear got the flu - would it be called Pooh Flooh?

Until next time - keep smiling!
