What I REALLY Want

I have started coughing. Dang.

Mom~ I'm, sniff sniff whimper, NOT coming down yet.

Let me assess the situation. I REALLY wanted the sunshine. Really.

Oh. My kids are going to be terribly upset.

I need my Grandma.

She used to sprinkle baby powder on my legs to stop

growing pains.

Oh yah. It totally worked.

I need my Mom.

She rubbed Vicks on my chest to relieve

the coughs and sniffles

Ingenius, cuz it worked, too.

I used to pick these out as a treat at the store.

And I recall sneaking into the medicine cabinet

for a small orange flavored goody once or twice.

Now my meds are yucky.
