Alright so I have this theory now--you know how they call Mono "the kissing disease"? Well, I'm pretty sure that's just a load of crap--because out of my past experiences, and from what I've heard, no one who contracts mono passes it on through kissing!
Exhibit A:
Pete had mono, Patria never got it.
Exhibit B:
Lindsay had mono, Kryf never got it.
Exhibit C:
Kathleen had mono, Kryf never got it.
Exhibit D:
I had mono, George never got it.
So, either all of these people have amazing immune systems--or Kryf can stand as a testament that mono really isn't as highly contagious as the medical world leads us to believe, they just want to add to your misery by forbidding you from kissing. Well--we showed them.
So, in conclusion, getting mono is just a parent's/doctor's excuse to make the kids slow it down a bit by scaring them into the spread of this "horrifying" illness.

Now go outside and play, it's REALLY nice out!
