Baby's First Sneezefic
a Oobi story
by Niki
It was a nice day. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Uma and Oobi were playing ball. They giggled as they played ball together. It was a nice day.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the other room.
They both stopped playing and listened to hear the sound again. Just when they thought it was their imaginations, they heard it again.
"Oobi noise?" Uma asked.
"Noise loud," Oobi said nodding.
Quietly, they crept towards where the noise had come from. But, all they saw was Grampu.
"Grampu noise?" Uma asked.
"Atchoo!" Grampu said in reply.
"Grampu sneezed?" Oobi asked.
Grampu only nodded.
"Oh. Bless you, Grampu," Oobi said.
"Bless you?" Uma asked.
"Yes," Grampu said. "When somebody sneezes, the proper response is bless you."
"Nice," Uma said.
"Atchoo!" Grampu sneezed again.
"Bless you!" Uma said, excitedly.
"Grampu sick?" Oobi asked.
Grampu nodded. "Grampu sick."
Uma remembered when she was sick. Grampu made her stay in bed and drink soup.
Oobi remembered when he was sick. Grampu took his temperature and covered him with lots of blankets.
Oobi felt Grampu's forehead. "Grampu warm," he said.
Grampu nodded. "Fever."
"Fever?" Uma asked.
Oobi felt Uma's forehead. "Uma no fever. Head cool." Then he felt Grampu's forehead. "Grampu fever. Head warm."
Grampu nodded. "Atchoo!" he sneezed.
"Grampu bed," Uma said.
"What?" Grampu asked, surprised.
"Grampu bed," she repeated.
When Grampu was in bed, Oobi put lots of warm blankets on him. "Warm?" he asked.
Grampu nodded. "Warm."
Slowly, Uma came in with a cup of soup.
"Lovely!" said Grampu, and he drank it all up.
When he was done Oobi and Uma fixed the blankets again. "Sleep," Oobi told him.
They both kissed him on the cheek and he fell asleep.
