And now, for today's exciting theme.. Stomach Bugs!!!
We call this a stomach flu,(Also known as gastroenteritis) but it is not really a flu. It is normally caused by bacteria or viruses. Some people call it a stomach bug, since it is not really the flu. The most common cause for stomach bugs is Norovirus. Here is a picture of Norovirus.

When the stomach bug hit our house,
everyone got sick except me.
I earned two pairs of earrings for being helpful.
I am glad I did not get this stomach bug.
It seemed quite nasty.
