The Man Flu

We were all sick last week. Well, everyone but Mason. Jake however, got it worse than anyone he had the man flu...

man flu- The condition shared by all males wherein a common illness (usually a mild cold) is presented by the patient as life-threatening.

Man Flu -A rare strain of flu so powerful and so deadly it can only be matched by the Bubonic Plague and Aids. A incurable virus which has adapted to only effect the "XY" gene found in men. The virus attacks the immune system 10,000 times harder than the average flu virus, causing excruciating pain for the victim. Man Flu has no cure and prayers can save the forsaken life of the infected. The often deadly virus is mostly laughed at by women who sadly cannot contract "Man Flu"

Hey, Jaime, no worries. I thought we would be back before you got here. I am so sorry we weren't here!!! It was still really warm, so you must have just been here. Anyway, my family loved it! My husband is always raving about how good his moms meatloaf is, and the first thing he said was, "this is the best meat loaf I have ever had". Nuff said!

Jess and Joe said...

LOL!! They hardly ever get sick, but when they do, it is a life or death situation! I know all about that one. haha!

That is when men often realize that women ARE the stronger sex. :)

Nicki said...

LOL! That is so funny, and true. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, I hope every one is feeling better.

Hehe... that funny and usually true. They get to call in sick to work and lay in bed all day. But, when we're sick... we still have to take care of kids, fix meals, clean house and there's no laying around. No one takes care of mommy!

You know... I think I actually dread my husband getting the flu more so than my children. He is such a baby when he's sick. Especially if it involves vomit. Thanks for the laugh. Hope you're all feeling better.

I hear ya! Mark, is the worst when he is sick! It drives me absolutely up the wall. He will even moan like he is a dying bear. I have never heard anything funnier than Mark puking! Gross, I know, but oh so true! Maybe I will record him next time, and put it on my blog so we can all laugh our A's off!

Okay, so I am obviously the only female that can get the man flu, because at our house it is the exact opposite. I hate being sick and when I am sick everyone must suffer too. Everyone in our house is currently sick and I am so wishing it was next week already and that we were all healthy again.

I have never read such true words in all my life! Hilarious!! My hubby likes to get all poetic and talk about the meaning of life when he's that "deathly" ill.

This is hillarious!! You are so right, and my man gets the man flu with a sinus infection and the whold world knows about and sleep for a few days straight is all that will help! Too funny!

Paige and Jason said...

I don't think it could be said any plainer. Men just can NOT handle being sick.

Unknown said...

I did Lol, that was great! I must of lucked out, because Jason can't lay around when he's sick and usually he doesn't like to. He can't call in sick to work so he has to suck it up and be a man.
