So, my wife's been sick for about three weeks now. She's been through a whole cycle of antibiotics. It got better and then got bad again. She's had this bad cough the whole time. Ordinarily she daintily puts her hand about a foot in front of her mouth, like some Japanese schoolgirl, when she coughs. Except there's nothing dainty about her now and she's hacking like a 60 year-old longshoreman with advanced lung cancer.
The other night we're watching t.v. and she pulls her hand in front of her face bit while hacking. I say: "Jesus Christ you're spewing concentrated evil everywhere!" So, she's modified her bit and has now moved her hand from a foot in front of her mouth to about five inches which is still five inches too far. So, I'm constantly lecturing her about the concept of germs and such and she finally blows up at me and says: "Stop talking to me like a child! I am covering my mouth!" when she clearly is not.
Guess who had a tickle is his throat last night and woke up this morning with a low-grade fever and the chills? And I know exactly what's coming next because I have asthma and everytime I get sick it goes right to my chest. By this time tomorrow I'll have a rattling in my chest and I'll be spewing big green gobs of green phlegm like Linda Blair.
