How to describe a tummy ache at the age of eight

I try not to mention my children too much on this blog, but I have to share my daughter's latest articulation. She's eight, and she has trouble getting to sleep quite often, with a sore tummy.

Last night she said, "My tummy feels trembly and quite uneasy and I seem to have a terrified, shocked feeling all through my body."

I think she's going to be a writer...

1. wow! very articulate!
2. i suffered a lot from wind as a kid - was painful, and yes stopped me from sleeping - i found simethicone worked for me- which is in Degas - not sure what else.

What a wonderful description. At three we have "my tummy feels bubbly" though I have discovered that this is also the description for hunger pains!

Miss you too. We had a fuse blow tonight and I thought, "Wonder if they've got any bij over there!" AP said, "It probably works properly" and I said, "No way!"
