Strange question re illness and speech

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

This may seem like an odd question, but I have repeatedly noticed that when

my daughter is mildly sick (cold, low grade fever) that her speech increases

both in amount and length of utterances. Its almost as if because she is a

little bit slowed down by not feeling 100 % she is able to speak more. Has

anybody else noticed this, or am I completely nuts?
