When The Man Is Sick

Men, we love you – really we do. Bless your hearts. But when you’re sick, you are at best ridiculous and at worst, well – just sick. Here’s the thing – get over it. Recently my husband got sick – AGAIN, but instead of going to the doctor, he decided he needed to ‘fight it off.’ The joy.

Day 1

Wow, they weren’t kidding with that cough syrup. I do feel dizzy.

It’s strong. How much did you take?

A tablespoon, just like it says.

It says to take a teaspoon.

No.

Yes. T-S-P stands for teaspoon.

Whatever. Tablespoon, teaspoon, same thing.

Day 2

That cough medicine really worked last night. I’m going to take it again.

Okay, but just a teaspoon this time, right?

Oh yeah. For sure.

How you feeling?

[grumble, grumble, grunt] It works a lot better if you take a tablespoon.
