I want my mommy

I had the flu this week (thankfully the 24 hour type!), and I called my mom. I do not throw up very often (I am prone to the respiratory things luckily). I think the last time I had a flu bug was 1993. Anyways, I called my mom within hours of throwing up. As if she wants to think about it! I wonder if I am the only one who does this. I seem to always have to let her know that I vomited. I do not however, let her know when I have diarrhea. I guess living with diarrhea is far easier, but if I just had diarrhea, I do not think I would have called.
