When Billy asked how they could fake it, Johnny reminded him of the old “thermometer by the lamp” trick. The two boys agreed to give it a try and got into bed after wheeling in the TV cart and turning on the TV. About an hour later, Belinda poked her head in and reminded them to get dressed and ready for church. When the two boys said they weren’t feeling all that well, Belinda came over and felt their foreheads. “You don’t seem to have any fever. Perhaps I’d better get the thermometer.” “Yeah,” Johnny said, “because we don’t feel all that great, do we Billy?” “No, we don’t,” Billy added. Belinda disappeared into the bathroom and rummaged around the cabinet, emerging a few moments later with a thermometer. After shaking it down, she put it in Johnny’s mouth, told him to keep his mouth closed, and said she’d be back in three minutes.
