Seven Stages of the Married Cold
-
Stage 1:
Sugar dumpling, I've really been worried about my baby
girl. That's a bad sniffle and there's no telling about
these things with all the strep that's going around.
I'm going to put you in the hospital for a general
check-up and a good rest. I know the food's terrible,
but I'm going to bring you dinner every night from
Rosini's. I've got it all arranged with the floor
supervisor.
-
Stage 2:
Listen, darling, I don't like the sound of that cough.
I'm going to call Doc Miller to rush over here. Now you
go to bed like a good girl just for papa.
-
Stage 3:
Maybe you'd better lie down, honey. Nothing like a
little rest when you're feeling lousy. I'll bring you
something. Have we got any canned soup?
-
Stage 4:
Now look, dear, be sensible. After you've fed the kids
and gotten the dishes done and the floor mopped, you'd
better lie down for a while.
-
Stage 5:
Why don't you take a couple of aspirins?
-
Stage 6:
Try gargling or something instead of just sitting
around barking like a seal all evening!
-
Stage 7:
Would you stop coughing on me?!? Are you trying to
give me pneumonia?!?
