No really...he's sick!

Lynde and Jay get to play with me every day because they come in a little early in the day. We play in the green room while we wait on Ms. Tori to arrive. Today, Jay was sick, so he stayed home. Lynde repeatedly asked me why Jay wasn't here, to which I kept saying "He's sick." Finally, the last time she asked, I said, "Lynde, do you remember what I said? Jay's not here because he's....." She thought about it for a minute, looked at me and said, "A goofball??"
