The Actual Prescription


Early one morning, I used to be sitting peacefully on the kitchen desk, having fun with my espresso, when my spouse walked in carrying a handful of medication.
She smiled and mentioned,
“Right here, take some Tylenol together with your espresso.”
I regarded confused.
“However I don’t have a fever.”
“Wonderful. Take some Tums.”
“No heartburn both.”
“Okay, then take Pepto-Bismol.”
“My abdomen feels completely high-quality!”
She sighed dramatically.
“Then take some ibuprofen… simply in case you’ve gotten physique aches.”
I stared at her.
“Severely? I’m fully wholesome! Nothing hurts!”
She smiled sweetly.
“Excellent.”
I relaxed.
Then she pointed towards the lounge.
“Now rise up and begin cleansing. Vacuuming, dishes, laundry… all of it.”
I slowly put down my espresso.
“Wait a minute…”
She grinned.
“What?”
I sighed.
“So THAT’S what all the medication was for!”
She nodded.
“Precisely. I used to be simply checking should you had any signs of laziness.”
