Place: Mommy's bed, where everyone is snuggling because Mommy doesn't want to get up yet.

Penny: (Coughing a chesty cough)
Mommy: Poor Penny. Does your throat hurt, too?
Penny: Yes. [No guarantee of truth. She says yes to most questions. Unless she says no.]
Emily: I have a stuffy nose.
Mommy: You're getting a cold, too?
Emily: I just noticed it when I tried to do this just now (sniffing mightily). And you know what that means?
Mommy: What?
