medicine


dominic says to me while snuggling in bed this morning, "my tummy hurts." a moment later: "i want some medicine."

"oh, well, when we go up for breakfast i'll give you some of your 'medicine,'" [actually probiotics] i say.

"no i want the other kind of medicine."

"but that medicine is not for tummies," i say.

"what is it for?" he asks.

"it's for headaches and fevers," i reply.

pause.

"i have a fever."
