An Understandable Mistake...

A few nights ago, Paul and I were sitting on the couch around 7:30pm. He was all yawns... BIG YAWNS. As though he couldn't stay awake one more second. He is usually wide awake until 10:30pm or so... causing me to question his fatigue.

I had the flu last week and the kids were taking their turns coming down with it as well so I wondered if maybe Paul was manifesting this flu a little differently than we did. Fatigue first vs. Headache, sore throat, hacking cough, congestion etc.

In an effort to figure this out, between yawns, we had this conversation,

Me: What's the deal? What are you all Yawn-y?

Him: I don't know.

Me: Are you sick? Are you starting with the flu?

Him: No! Other than being extremely tired... I feel great. I've been eating better and taking supplements.

His statement prompted a thought process that ended with me in the kitchen where I keep my meds, supplements, etc. What I found made me giggle. (Alright... it actually made me LAUGH... out loud as if to implicate him in his own fatigue.)

Conversation continued-

Me: What "supplements" are you taking?

Him: A mens multi, vitamin C, that new probiotic thing you just got....

Me: (Showing him the big box of probiotics...) Oh... you mean these probiotics?

Him: No! The ones in the blister pack.

I have to just stop the story there as only a picture can do the rest justice.... Here's the "blister pack" he assumed was "probiotics..."




It's really no wonder that a man who still has no clue WHERE the children's socks can be found... ended up YAWNING on our couch at 7:30pm after acquiring his own "VITAMINS". To his credit however, I have included a picture of the abundance of meds he had to choose from in his quest for health.
