sick men are ogres
Ever noticed that when men get sick, they begin to regress to something that is a cross between a child and an ogre. It begins with a little whinyness when they start to have symptoms. As they begin to feel worse, they become needy and impatient. By the time they know they are really sick, you begin to wish you could knock em out with a two-by-four so both of you can get some rest. They have turned into a full-on grouchy, grumbly ogre. Complete with red-rimmed eyes and scary hair. Now try taking care of this thing and a rambunctious 10month old at the same time. The ogre is convinced that the 10-month old knocked his mug of tea over on purpose and is making noise just to make his head hurt more. Therefore, said ogre wishes the 10-month old would go away and leave him alone. Now if I so happen to come down with the same illness, do you suppose I will have the same luxery of shutting myself in another room and being waited on? Not likely, even if he were well. Men are such babies! 0 comments so far
