Cough

Mum just got home with Benadryl for my bad throat and cough. "Great Banana Flavour" it says enthusiastically on the front. As if I'm not sick enough already. I guess it's there as a precaution - so little kids don't try and OD on the stuff. That's pretty clever.

My brother used to love the taste of medicine. He'd pretend to be sick so he could drink the stuff all the time. The beginnings of a drug-abuser (or hypochondriac) if you ask me. He doesn't do that anymore, which is lucky because some of the stuff in the medicine closet expired in 1999.

My mum also bought "Honey Lemon Sugar Free Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Anti-Bacterial Lozenges". They're supposed to stop you from coughing. Pretty pointless really because I nearly choked to death trying to say the name of the thing. It also says the maximum dosage per day is 12 lozenges. Wonder what happens if you take more than that. I could probably test my theory out on my brother.

OMG, I just opened the packet. The cough lozenges are FLUORESCENT YELLOW! They taste pretty good though. Oh, anti-bacterial goodness, I can feel it working it's magic on my throat. *audible eye roll*

Back to Hamlet essay with me. If I have to hear anymore of Mayo's lame jokes, I WILL try and overdose on "Honey Lemon Sugar Free Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Anti-Bacterial Lozenges". Clever Mel, real clever. Outsmarting the system, yup that's me.

Love,
Mel


Pee.ess - OMG MY THROAT HAS GONE NUMB! Is that supposed to happen?
