The Allergic Life, in the Eyes of a Child
This morning I took 4-yo Yena with me to go grocery-shopping. On the way home, we passed a driveway where a sign was displayed: FREE KITTENS.
Mom: Yena, look, free kittens!
Yena: Free kittens? Ohhhh…. Mom, could we get one?
Mom: No, iha, they’re bad for us.
Yena: They’re bad for us?
Mom: We’re allergic to them.
Yena: (after being silent for a moment) Mom, can you make them without wheat?

Oh, how sad! I cannot imagine life without kittens! (Or wheat for that matter). Alergies must be a most difficult thing to live with.
LOL!
Oh, how sweet! We have the food allergies and the environmental allergies…basically the world is bad for ds. Poor dears. Give Yena a little hug.
Hi Stef,
That’s hilarious!!! XOXO to all your little darlings, most especially to Ms. Yena
.
God bless always,
Angie
PS I finally sat down and watched “The Chronicles of Narnia.” What an awesome movie!!!
How funny! She cracks me up!
Oh that’s so cute!!! =)
ha, ha, ha! too cute!
funny you should mention about cats… we’ve had sammy for 14 years and suddenly my 4-yr old is now allergic to him (he gets scratchy eyes as he calls it). usually happens when we come back after a long vacation (9 months this time) but allergy goes away after a couple of months. doctor says exposure a little at a time is good.
I fully understand. I need medication before visiting anyone’s home that has cats. Worse, as I get older I am developing a really wicked allergy to pollen and my hay fever is awful!
hi stef, the poor dear! w too is highly allergic to anything feline, so i can totally empathise with how you must feel
Thanks guys.
Actually *I’m* the one that’s most allergic to cats. Weird, I wasn’t allergic to them when I was younger but I’ve grown more sensitive through the years. We did have a cat for about a year back in the ’90′s. Maybe that triggered something.
The kids may have actually outgrown their sensitivities, as I notice they don’t react as much as they used to when exposed, but we still can’t risk having them in the house with all the other allergies we have here, plus hubby’s asthma (which thankfully has been in control the past year!).
Angie, awesome is right!:)
MM, you should tell your story to the “experts”. We’ve received numerous suggestions including “consider moving to a 3rd world country where allergies are virtually non-existent”. Though perhaps you’d be a fit for their “allergies are a sickness of the affluent”.
That is sooo cuuute, stef! ‘Count on a child to say the darnest things!!!
Hahahahahahahahahaha! I snuck-in blog-reading while meeting with clients and suprised them all by suddenly cracking up! (Serves me right!) This is so hilarious. But do tell me when you do make them without wheat! Hahahahaha!
