Swine flu

Phoebe's class has been shut down for a week because of swine flu. Phoebe herself is perfectly fine, thankfully, but finds herself at something of a loose end.

"Daddy, I wish I was at school! I've finished all my homework and now I've got nothing to do. I'm a completely stiff board."

"Bored stiff, darling."

"Yes, that too."
