The Cost of a Kiss

About a week ago, Diamond was feeling pretty sick. When I went to kiss him (a good kiss - or two), he advised against it, but did I listen? Of course not.

Shall we add up the actual financial cost of my hard-headedness?
$50 Urgent Care visit: By Friday afternoon I was SOOO miserable I needed to get in to a doctor ASAP.
$4 Amoxicillin: For the strep throat
$5 Vicodin prescription: And I'll tell you, I still feel pain when I swallow!
$15 Humidifier: Our old one had broken a couple years ago.
______________
$ 74 stupidity bill.
No, Diamond didn't have strep, but really? he NEVER gets as sick as I do. If he had a cough, I'd get pneumonia. Therefore, since he had a sore throat, I now have strep. Of course HE realized all of this on the night of the kiss. One day I'll learn to listen to my husband...
