The Stoic - this is the person who handles being sick with grace. They accept that they are sick, but do not let it take over their life. They are indifferent to it and deal. They could handle being sick all on their own and usually do.
The Announcer - this is the person who is sick, but spends all of his or her time telling everyone they are sick. They go door to door carrying tissues or a blanket, so everyone knows just how sick they are. They feel the need to tell you every symptom, ache and pain in exhausting detail. You know these people. We all do. Worse of all, they are usually not that sick.
The Whiner - this person is different from the announcer as he/she does not tell everyone they are sick, they just whine to the person they love most. Here is what they often say?
Whoa is me? I am sick. Why me? Why me? I need this soup. Do we have any orange juice? It's too hot in here. Now it's too cold. Feel my forehead, it is warm? Turn down the TV. I can't hear the TV. My soup is too hot. Can you turn off the TV, I am trying to sleep. Lie here with me. Can you make me jello? Is there any ginger ale. My back hurts.
Now for the next poll...this one might be a bit easier:
What type of sick person is your spouse?

This cracks me up... and I'm really sorry you're surrounded by sickies!
Can you be all 3. I CAN be tough, if I need to be. I definately want the world to know if I think I am dying. :-) And I'm sure I pour on the whine once my mom hits the front porch. I don't think you can ever outgrown that.
I was home with Grace today...pukes last night and fever all day today. Working these last few days of school is tough...but making sub plans is even harder.
Get well BUGS!
This is the best!
Way too funny!
Here's to being well!!!!
