10 points to = a allergy family.

Dear reader...............read the points below, if any two points describe your family, then, and only then , are you welcome to follow my happy little postings!

YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY ARE ALLERGIC PEOPLE WHEN......................

1) your hands sting when you dust around the house, sometimes going a nice shade of red...........

2) your son ( the one with the barrel load of allergies) climbs a tree at the park. Nothing wrong with that, however he comes back down covered in hives.

3) At the park, your hubby tries to shout up at son , who is climbing the tree, to get him to come down. But he finds this difficult, as he is wheeezing and eyes are streaming from hay fever/tree pollen.

4)one bright sunny morning, you watch your children moving oddly down the street on way to school. You realise , while watching them bunny hop, that you are doing the same. For a brief moment, you wonder if you have all caught some nasty disease......................but no, ..........................
you have commited the nightmare of using biological washing powder on your underwear..........

5) one day you accidently poke yourself in the eye, after turning off a dusty bedside lamp...............................finding that sleep is somewhat disturbed, you sit up and put the light on......................hubby takes one look at you , backs off the bed and runs to get the antihistmine. Hollywood pays a fortune to the make up people to get an eye to look as hideous , as swollen, (and slightly weeping ) as yours................dust allergy is soooo much cheaper. Someone should tell them.

6) as a couple you should never have breed, the warning signs were there, you just ignored them.
for instance, attempting to have a romantic session of open air passion, is just not going to work. No one enjoys bouncing up and down on your partner, only to find he/she is going blue. And, anyway, all that grass was stinging the ezcema on the back of your legs like crazy.................

7) sex indoors is the best way, and after a wonderful bout of heavy , sweaty passion, you dont pause for a cuddle, or kiss. No, for you both turn away from each other, and fumble for your inhalers at your respective bedside tables.
for you, the romantic phrase 'you take your breath away' has real meaning.

8) you apply your son's ezcema creams to his skin, his skin looks better, however your hands are red, burning and stinging...................

9) the phone rings, and your first thought after listening ( to the heavy breathing ) is to start shouting at the dirty caller , then calm down and instuct your mother to take her inhaler before calling you.

10) at a family party, your brother runs up to you and unbuttons the top of his jeans, shouting 'hey, take a look at this'!! , gratefully, you realise he is just showing you his tummy. Then you flinch , and look away from the horrible raw, red , weeping area around his tummy and start explaining nickal allergy.................
