Matildes friend coughed in the living room. I looked at her with alarm. Can I hear that cough again? She was startled. But she coughed again for me. Yeah, just as I suspected, I said, with my doctorly voice. Looks like you have a case of the Russia Plague. That means you will shrink 4 inches in the next year. Youll also begin to lean to your right side. Like bad. I demonstrated by tilting like the leaning Tower of Pisa. Oh, and your left leg will rise up 3 inches. And your right arm with turn into a stuffed animal arm. Itll be cute for a while because youll be able to cuddle with the soft furry arm at night. But pretty soon youll realize itll only dangle by your side and basically be unusable so that will be sad. She and Matilde giggled because Im a lame. 20 minutes later in the kitchen, I felt a tug on my arm. I looked down and saw it was Matildes friend. She placed her hand over her mouth and coughed theatrically. Yup, I said, The Russian Plague. Just as I suspected. And dont ask me why Russian Plague. Who knows why I say what I say. I open my mouth and silly stories drop out.
