I'm a mom, so when my kids get sick I kick into maternal awesomeness and buy orange juice, vitamin C drops, cough medicine, comfort food and make sure that the kiddos have blankets, snuggies and favorite toys.
I'm a "wife", so when he gets sick I get him vitamin C drops, cough medicine, cook him his favorite comfort food and make sure he has his favorite toys and video games on hand. I stroke his head and force feed him Nyquil at 5pm.
I never get sick. But now I'm sick....and so is oyfriendbay..... My nose is running green snot, my head feels like it might be on fire and explode in a snotty mess at the same time and I can't take a breath without wheezing like an 80 year old prostitute.
Where we are usually lovey-dovey-awesome-gooshy, we are now staring daggers at each other for not going to the grocery store and comparing who's snot is grosser. Mine totally was.

I say: In modern cold season...you will die like a dog if you don't turn the TV back to Grey's Anatomy and give me the fucking kleenex.
