Thumbs Down to the Common Cold

We officially rang in cold season. Mild runny noses quickly transitioned to congested chests, wheezing, and lots of coughing. There was a double ear infection for one of the twins too.

I'm no stranger to the this enemy the cold, so I jumped on the phone to snatch up the last appointment available before school was let out and off we headed to a 2pm visit.

Our visit to the doctor yielded not only some quick relief and a few prescriptions, but also a brief but amusing conversation I just had to share. One might almost think that Cormac was unfamiliar with just what kind of a doctor this was. Picture him relaxed in a chair as the doctor begins.



Doctor: So Cormac, what's bothering you the most today?

Cormac: Snacks

Doctor: not enough?

Cormac: Yeah

Glad to know this cold isn't bringing him down the way the state of the snacks around here are.
