Porter and the red bucket

Porter came home sick from Dede's one day (at least 1 person in our house has been sick at all times since Thanksgiving!). Dede let him bring home the red bucket in case he got sick in the car. He was attached to the red bucket for days. He slept with it, took it to the bathroom with him, set it on the table while he ate. He never did throw up, but it provided some kind of comfort to him just in case. Eventually the red bucket made it back to Dede's house.
