Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 13, 2024

Wanda if everyone comes down with this even you. You’ll still have to be the nurse. Don’t expect any help from, Darryl.

“I only have so much goodness in me and I just used up today’s supply. Check back tomorrow.”

“Yessir, Mr Green.”

Uh Oh, the biggest baby is getting sick.

That nose is going to need more than a ton of tissues.

AaaaaChu

Oof.

Right on (age is showing). Kids are long gone, but when my wife gets sick (often), she gets TLC to the max. I know my way around any kitchen, and am the primary clothes washer, floor maintainer, bathtub (and mirror) tidier, bed maker as well as a plethora of “manly” duties.It just worked out that way.

I see a trip to the drugstore coming up!

At the first sign of a cold, I start taking zinc. Last cold lasted 4 days!!

Decongestants keep you awake use antihistamines for sleep.

There are some wimpy husbands when they get sick. Darryl is one of them. I am not.

The sickness is spreading. Soon they will all have it. Better brew up a large pot of chicken soup now, Wanda.

How does he not fall over when his nose is that big?

No patience for you.

As grandparents we love our grandchildren tremendously. When they are sick we love them even more, as long as they stay home with their parents.

Don’t toddlers who are sick want to sleep?

Come on, Wanda. This grown up boy may need let an ounce of patience.

Break out the Vicks!

A friend of ours who spends a lot of time babysitting her grandson, refers to his preschool as “the germ factory”. The boy brings home everything and passes it along to all the family.

Look patiently for the decongestant, Darryl.

Sorry Darryl, you’re on your own.

Around last week of November we went through that, only difference for me closing in on sinus infection, that takes longer, I waited until after Christmas to see Dr., yes I had to COVID test, medicine prescribe, which I do not like to do, have to eat with it.

Nurse yourself Darryl.

Darryl needs some zinc and ivermectin. It’s not just for COVID.

It’ll take more than one ton of decongestant to clear Darryl’s nose!

Last “ton” of what?
