Man Cold

This is hysterical only because its so horribly true. The "man cold" is a real devastating condition that both my father and my husband have both had. My father - the man who was in Vietnam for several years is the biggest baby on the face of this earth when it comes to being sick. The moans can be heard down the street and all of us kids (even though we are grown) are required to do ANYTHING to help him. My mother could be on her death bed but my dad has a cold and she is his slave for 24 hours.

My husband is a bit better but not by much. The big Coast Guard guy becomes a little baby when sick. I am required to buy him weird liquid concoctions that "make him feel better" and feed him food. His legs cant possibly lift up to let me sit on the couch so I sit on the edge and lean back over his legs. Speaking of his legs I also need to rub them. It makes him feel better. Poor poor sick men.
