A couple of weeks ago I came back home from college for the weekend. I found out, once I was home, that my younger brother had the stomach flu and was in peak sick mode during the weekend. Usually my brother and I love spending time with each other but I didn't want to risk getting sick so I didn't spend time with him that weekend.

I refused to be in the same room with him. I wouldn't enter his room for any reason. I refused to have my meals at the same time with him, although I did let him eat first. Occasionally I would even sanitize things he may have touched such as doorknobs or mainly shared bathroom areas.

I did try spending some time with him. We talked on the phone from separate rooms in the house and facetimed while watching the same movie from different areas in the house. I still missed him!

Now my mother said that I was being a jerk and, I'll even admit that I may have gone, over the top in making sure I didn't get sick. I did have a test in the following week that I did not want to be sick for especially since you can't make them up. I was watching out for myself.

So, let me know, AITA?
