You and your man might as well be from different planets when it comes to how you deal with the flu.
Not only have we heard that this year’s flu shot might not be that effective, but the virus going around right before the holidays is one of the most serious strains out there. Perfect.
At least the men in our lives are around to take care of us.
Yeah. Sure. In Utopia, maybe. Ladies, let’s face it. Men can be babies when they’re sick. So can women, true, but most of the time we’re the ones holding down the fort while the guys take care of #1 (sorry, guys, we know there are exceptions out there — and are you single?).
We hope this makes you laugh through all the misery.
