A conversation with Jimmy...

Jimmy: Chuck just called. Did you read the news? Four people here just died from Legionanaire's Disease.

Me: I know. And it's one person, not four. Six people total got sick.

Jimmy: So that's seven. We need to stop drinking the water.

Me: No, it's just six. One of the six died. And we don't need to stop drinking the water. It's only in one apartment building.

Jimmy: What are the symptoms?

Me: You don't have Legionnaire's Disease.

Jimmy: I've been feeling pretty sick the last couple days. My throat hurts.

Me: It's similar to pneumonia. And you don't have Legionnaire's Disease.

Jimmy: Tell Jaime she's not allowed to drink the water.


Later that evening...

Me: Your father called to tell you not to drink the water. Don't listen to him.
