A Lesson Most Truly Earned

Class .. *taps board with pointer* .. does anyone have any idea what this ^ is??

Don't be fooled into thinking that it is *just* an ordinary box of Kleenex tissue .. ooooohhh dearie nooooo.

This .. THIS .. is the weapon I have chosen to teach the young woman who coughed wildly all over MC and I while we sat at the cafe at our local supermarket while her dad shuffled through the checkout .. a lesson .. a lesson she will not soon forget. :\

With every resounding *thwap* she will hear .. "didn't .. your .. mother .. ever .. teach .. you .. to .. cover .. your .. mouth .. WHEN YOU COUGH?!?!?!

Because .. that phage she gave us was a doozy .. and a good beating may be the only thing to save future folks from suffering the same miserable fate as MC and I have had the past .. forever .. okay .. best part of 4 ... 4 !!! ... weeks.

I've felt like shit most of this time .. both of us either in our beds or eventually propped up in the living room sipping homemade soup and trying to keep track of the noxious tissues that may require burning to keep the plague contained.

Started with fever .. sore throat .. headache .. moved on to copious amounts of .. stuff .. blown out .. I can't count the number of boxes of Kleenex .. with lotion of course ;) .. that we've gone through .. ears so clogged I could barely hear anything and coupled with stabbing pains.

Though I still did my usual herbal stuff .. homeopathics .. coconut oil and such .. I even resorted to hardcore mainstream cough syrups just to get a decent nights sleep for crying out loud .. but .. I STILL have a cough .. AND .. I think I've become seriously addicted to Fisherman's Friend Cherry lozenges. O_o

For what we've gone through .. I had considered administering a fatal beating .. certainly she's earned it .. however .. that lets her off the hook for her carelessness FAR too easily .. and she will have learned NOTHING .. so a good sound thrashing about the head and shoulders with a box of Kleenex it shall be.

I just hope I don't use up all the Kleenex in it BEFORE I find her ....... ;)
