My daughter has my Curse

I have a curse, I'm prone to some sort of bad luck. It's not bad luck as in Anvils fall on me, or I get in car wrecks. It's odd bad luck - things that normally won't happen to anyone will happen to me. When I met my wife, I told her this and she didn't believe it. After several years, she believes it fully, and I often here "This only happens because it's YOU, Joe"
So how do I know my daughter has it? She has been in perfect health for weeks. Even when me and my son had bad allergies, she was fine. Today she woke up at 2am with a 104.6 fever....and today she turned 5.
What a rotten way to spend your birthday if you ask me...I mean, after you're..what...16, who cares if you're sick on your birthday? Well...I guess 21. But cmon, you only turn 5 once, and she's sick.
So I snuck out of work and took her presents home during lunch (big ol' box of Legos) so she could do something till we get home and stare at the cupcakes that were supposed to go with her to school today - where she would have worn a crown and everyone sing to her.

What a stink.

And knowing the Curse - she will be fine tomorow. Read more about it if you like.
