Kid: What's the point? You can just use a period.

So 16 days ago I got strep. I found out it was strep 10 days ago, when it started becoming pneumonia. 5 days ago I started a second antibiotic and was starting to feel better until today. Fevel shot up and cough came back with a vengeance. May have caught a 3rd thing.

"Why are you always posting online instead of making friends in person?!"
