strange answers

Dennis was decidedly puny today. He stayed in his footie pajamas all day long and asked me if we could just stay home. He is sniffly a bit, and after we asked him if he felt bad and he said he did, we gave him some medicine. I frequently asked him how he felt throughout the day. One time, when I asked "how do you feel?", he grinned slowly and said "powerful!". And after his nap, when he came pink-cheeked and rubbing his eyes to find me and plop onto the couch and put his head in my lap, I told him "I'm so sorry you feel bad." He replied "if I was a reindeer, I would grow antlers." He told me he heard squeaky sounds in his head, and since we are due for a follow-up doctor visit from his last ear infection, I presume we'll be paying the pediatrician a visit tomorrow.
