Are you winning?

On Sunday afternoon, when I was in the throes of the flu bug, A heard me tell J that I was running a fever.

A: "Why do you have a fever?"

Me: "Because my body has an infection somewhere in it, and the fever is my body's way of fighting it."

A looked at me for a moment, then carefully said: "Is your body winning?"

Despite my discomfort, I had to laugh! And I also had to admit that I really didn't know if my body was winning or not.
