She said what?!?
There are different kinds of intelligence. Someone can have a firm grasp on history, literature, algebra what have you, but no facility for science or language or geometry.
I try to keep this in mind when overhearing conversations such as the one I caught between an adult son and his parents.
Son: So what did the doctor say?
Dad: She has pre-bronchitis.
Son: Pre-bronchitis? Does that mean that she should anticipate getting bronchitis sometime this week?
Dad: Not if she takes her medicine.
Son (turning to his mother): So are you taking your medicine?
Mom:
I’m taking it. But NOW I feel worse. It makes me sleepy because it has cocaine in it.
Son: Uh…Ma? That’s C-O-D-E-I-N-E.
And that, my friends, is how rumours get started.

when i was a kid, my dad explained to me once (while serving me up some codeine-laced cough syrup) that codeine is an addictive drug. i looked up at him and said, “so you mean, people who are addicted to it never ever cough?”
Hope she feels better soon!
