Sickness seems to be rampant this year, at least in these here parts. So, I thought a little poll-taking would be fun, just to see how much we all care about our fellow-man. It’s quick, it’s easy, and there’s no judgement. Unless I disagree with your answer.
Here we go. A couple of hypotheticals.
Strictly Hypothetical.
1.) You are on vacation. Four days into your sunshine and bliss, you come down with the flu. Surely caught from another Germy Influenzite within the stuffy confines of the aircraft on your way to aforementioned sunny and blissful destination. The night before your scheduled departure to Coldville (your home-town), the thought of getting two children up at 5 a.m. to get them on a plane as you, yourself struggle to stop the room from being a simulated Gravitron ride feels impossible. But, personal nausea aside, you are most certainly not germ-free and are quite possibly a walking flu missile. Do you:
A.) Pay the $1200 in change fees to spare your fellow passengers (but continue to infect your in-laws with whom you are staying).
B.) Suffer through the torture, and get everyone home to their own beds and say a prayer for all those innocents flying North along with your toxicity.
C.) Find another solution that will make me feel stupid that I did not think of it myself.
2.) Once home, your spouse must work, leaving you to care for two small children in your pathetic sickly state. Do you:
A.) Call a babysitter to come help, risking her health
B.) Beg a family member to come help, also risking their health
C.) Suffer through it and actually sob to your three-year old and two-year old, begging them to go easy on you as they stare, utterly confused.
