Parenting Fail

I have a lingering cold - I am almost over it but still have stuffiness and cough. My middle child developed the cold a couple of days after me. The oldest and the youngest are holding out... But probably not for long.

I made H tea with honey this morning to help her feel better. But then C, the youngest, wanted tea, too. No problem. They were sitting contentedly at the kitchen table, sipping their tea. When breakfast was ready, everyone moved to the dining room table. I brought the tea over. Except I gave H's tea (laden with germs, no doubt) to C... C took a couple of gulps before she realized she was drinking out of her sick sister's cup. 

Ugh. Seriously. This reminds me of a time when C was sick and after helping her brush her teeth, I (why? I don't know! my brain went to la-la land for a bit)  started brushing my own teeth using her toothbrush. I got sick less than 12 hours after that (it was a nasty, nasty cold, too!).

So... yeah... parenting fail number 1,095,435.
