The Flu War 2

So today in the midst of the infruenza battle again, the vice principal asked me to smell his hands. I was like uuuhh, but I dutifully smelled them. Afterwards he says, it has alcohol, it will stop infruenza. Apparently he went out and bought hand sanitizer and wanted to show it off. He was super excited about this hand sanitizer, and later on made a big show of using it and offered me some. I wasn't sure if it was maybe a suggestion since I am one of the wounded in battle (I am sick but not with the flu) that's not wearing a mask. Anyhow, I figured out I've been telling people for the past week that I am hemorrhaging when I meant to say I am congested. At first, I thought their surprised double-takes meant that they were just overly concerned for me, but then my friend sat me down and asked me "where?". That's when we finally realized what I meant and what I didn't mean. Oops! Maybe that's why the vice principal was trying to give me hand sanitizer. I am a sick hemorrhaging foreigner WITHOUT a mask! Watch out everyone, Germ must be my middle name.
