The torch has been passed. The next generation in my family now knows and uses the word, "Gesundheit". The word is German, usually said after a sneeze, meaning, "good health".
This morning we woke the Babe up extra early because she was having a minor medical procedure. It required no liquids after 7 a.m., and she drinks a ton during the day. So around 6:45 a.m., I woke her up for some juice and water. She was barely awake, drinking a little bit. My husband was in the bathroom, and blew his nose. First thing in the morning, if you're within a block's radius of him, you can probably hear this. He is not particularly old, however, he sounds like a loud horn. So even though I thought the Babe was asleep, she mumbled, "Gesundheit!", in response to what she might have thought was a sneeze. It was very cute, and very funny. A good way to start a long day.
