Coughlin sat in her bed coughing for the fifth day straight. Her sisters were beyond annoyed at her by this point. They had stopped visiting her altogether, leaving their sister by herself saying "Let us know when you're done coughing, Coughlin! Then we'll come back to play."
Upset at the situation, Coughlin finally called for her mother. "Mom, why do I keep coughing? I'm so tired of it, I just want to go out and play with my sisters again!" Coughlin's mother sat down and inspected her child. After a brief examination, her mother reached into her daughter's mouth and pulled out a long strand of yarn. The tip was wiggling through Coughlin's teeth as she spoke, and when it all had come out, it seemed to be about the length of an entire ball of yarn.
"Coughlin, I think I found the problem." Coughlin's mother said holding up the soggy mass. Blushing, Coughlin replied "Oh. That makes sense."
"What happened dear?"
"Well, I was playing with Dittles and I was pretending to be the vacuum, a little too realistically evidently. The coughing started shortly after that, so I must have inhaled the yarn when I was playing with her."
Coughlin's mother stared at her incredulously. Then she rolled her eyes, and seeing that Coughlin was no longer coughing, suggested she go outside and get some fresh air. Her sisters would be thrilled the coughing was over.
