Faking it

I think I have a fever.

I'm not so sure. I'm not sure that I'm convinced.

This looks like, uh, doing some homework in bed before you get ready for school, young lady.

Well, you can find out if you have a fever or not. And if you're sick, then you can stay home.

But I'm hot.

We'll check your temperature. I'll be right back.

Here, I have a thermometer.

What is that?

It's a thermometer. It's what you take temperature with.

Can we wear it up here?

No. I don't think so. I think that there's all sorts of tricks that girls use in order to try to get out of having their accurate temperature read.

But you can just feel that I'm hot.

I feel that you're hot.

I know that you're a little warm, but I've heard so many stories about people drinking a hot drink, making their mouth temperature hotter.

So we're just going to go right to the source, and we're just going to do it this way.
