Leia's Theory

This morning, Leia came down with high fever. She ate her Nasi Goreng with eggs for breakfast, drank her hot tea, and hug me. I felt that she was a bit warm. As the day went by, her fever was getting higher, so I decided to give her an ibuprofen. After a while, she told me that she felt better. She said, "I feel better mama, now I am ready for a swim!" I said, "I don't think so Leia, you just got down from a high fever!" And Leia said, "See mama, my body is/was sooo hot, but the water is so cold, and it will take a way the hotness in my body!" I thought, what a cool idea came from a 4 years old. And my dad was there and said, "She had pulled all knowledge and science that she knew and for a 4 years old, I said, she can swim!!!" I smiled, and thought, okay then, she needs to test on her theory, otherwise she won't know. I need to respect her theory as she respects mine (sometime she just believed what I said) So, I said, ,"Fine let's swim!"

We swam for about 15 minutes, yes, in the pool of icy water, we were in ciawi, but it was great! Leia was happy. After swimming, she took a bath, and fell asleep, as my mother rubbed her back.

She was still in high fever though after that, but she needed to know whether her own theory worked. And she said (laying in the bed, still with fever), "When I swam mama, I did not have fever right mama? The cold water took it!" I said, "Yes, Leia, but you can not spend forever in the pool right?" She smiled..."I had fun today mama!" I smiled..."Then, That's all matter to me..."
