F) The sounds of sniffles and coughs coming from my sick daughter who I'm taking care of on MLK day. There isn't a more helpless feeling than watching your normally bubbly and energetic child morph into a ball of buggers and sobs-my heart aches for her and I wish i was the sick one. Thankfully her fever has broke and she's improving. She's opposed to medicine (she might be a Scientologist) but I got her to take one of those melt away Tylenol tablets by telling her it's "breakfast candy" and even took one myself. Once she realized she had been duped she gave me a dagger look and told me " I will never trust u again and just for that I'm getting my tongue pierced and will go to bar tending school.". My wife and I try mixing the medicine in her drink but she seems to figure it out and insists on her cups being "washed." She told us that "medicine is for babies, and all she needed was a Toy Story band-aid." Alas there wont be any piggyback rides today just countless nose blowing and fluid pushing.
