Mario World turns into Mario Hospital.

So, a week ago, our home was transformed into the Super Mario Brothers Super World.  We had mustaches, Goombas, Mushrooms (no, not that kind-- it was a kid's party for crying out loud!), Petey Piranhas, 1ups, question mark boxes filled with coins and star cookies, and even Princess Peach was taken into Bowser's castle so our little Marios and Luigis could rescue her and receive prizes. 


One day later, it became Super Mario Hospital housing patients with the flu, conjunctivitis, and strep.  Poor Dr. Mario (Jeff) was the only mostly healthy one of the bunch, able to avoid the truck that ran me over and left bones aching that I, didn't know I had.  Dr. Mario also did an amazing job making at least 14 viruses disappear in the middle of the night as Yoshi (Daniel) vomited them out all night long. Baby Mario (Nolan), however, decided to hoard some viruses in his eye after an allergic reaction to adult soap.  


Nurse Peach (me) decided it was time to get to the bottom of all the sickness, so she enlisted the help of Dr. Luigi at the Urgent Care.  When it was revealed that the Strep-io bacteria was the cause of apple-sized tonsils and a very strange voice in Nurse Peach, she decided to eradicate the Strep-io by checking  Yoshi and Baby Mario's tonsils as well.  


So after getting more pills for Dr. Mario2 to make the bugs disappear, Nurse Peach began to investigate.  She did major observance of Yoshi and Baby Mario. What she found was not surprising.  Yoshi does quite well with the elbow coughing and runny nose wiping, even if he does stick his tongue out an inordinate amount.  However, Baby Mario's hygene seemed to be alarmingly bad.  You see, he puts small objects, like his toy tow truck, Mater, into his Gatorade and pulls it out to lick the Gatorade off of this toy truck.  Then, he places his dirty, stew-covered spoon back in the drawer with the clean silverware.


I am curious as to how many times he has done this.  He did it so quietly and   
quickly that I am sure this was not the first time, and I am sure the silverware drawer was filthy before I discovered this little problem.  At least the silverware drawer has been disinfected.  Now on to disinfecting the rest of the house.  I think Nurse Peach needs one of those invincibility stars.
