The Lump

Endora's picture

Things have been quiet on the Zippy17 front for a bit and I have been embarking on a change of career so have been away for awhile-but read a bit here and there on ST.

DH has not changed much-but is more supportive in the household -last week DH noticed a significant change in Zippy17's sleeping habits (seems-Zip has no trouble staying up all night gaming but sleeps 12-14 hours, napping after school for a few hours as well -whenever he can) Zippy17 announced to DH that he had a significant lump on his chest. DH was obviously concerned and asked Zippy if he could see it. Zippy17 pursed his lips, went beet red and ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to show his father the lump (much like at 2 year old temper tantrum)! DH and Zip got into a power struggle - with of course with Zippy winning and DH lost a nights sleep worrying about Zippy having cancer.

I told DH that the only thing he could do is make Zippy17 an appointment with the Dr, which he did- (I hope Zippy17 "decides" to be compliant with the Dr.!)That stubborn kid is going to learn some very hard life lessons if he does not learn to listen to adults in his life!

I just cannot believe this young man at all!

When I first saw the title, I thought you had come up with another nickname for Zippy.

I wonder why Zippy would bring the lump up but refuse to show his father. (Maybe a hicky?) If you have to drag him kicking and screaming to the doctor, do it. Better safe than sorry. I really hope it's nothing.

Yes-I agree Crayon and Selkie -I have been thinking about you both and more on ST-

I am concerned with Zippy's "sleeping"-he is not really sleeping but staying in bed like a diva on his new laptop!!! (don't ask)

I am concerned about "the lump" but---I think this kid will shoot himself in the foot before listening to an adult-which scares me more because my soft shelled DH will NOT be top dog with his own son!

BGTW-I am really missing you guys -work gets in the way!!! Love the job thought-all you Step's rock!

Silly boy. Maybe he's afraid he's growing a third nipple. Hope everything turns out okay.
