An Allergy Took My Brother

Thomas was full of sniffles earlier today.  I told him he probably had allergies and asked if he needed a tissue.  He wiped his nose and went to throw it away.
"Wait!  I should do this [honk!]  That's what grown-ups always do."
Henry turned around and said, "It worked!  Now Thomas doesn't have the sniffles.  He doesn't have an allergy anymore.  We have our brother back the way he used to be!  Woohoo!"

Close call.  Glad the allergy didn't claim him for good.  Must have been the honking that saved him.
