Don't Push Me

Summer colds are the worst and my 3 year old always manages to catch one. I'm especially freaked out this year because of the baby. My mother says "Keep them away from each other." Oh ok. I suppose the baby and I will should move out of the house just to stay away from the 3 year old. It's near impossible to keep them apart. We're all living and breathing (and sneezing) the same air. Then my mother proceeds to say "You know how terrible a cold is for a baby? Their noses are so little and they have a hard time breathing." Thank you mom! Now I'm even more freaked out. She knows I don't handle illness well. If mother knows best, why is mother trying to push me over the edge?
