seems almost no one, not even among the resolutely strong nor staunchly independent nor vehemently denying, can resist a bit of attention when sick. some exteriors might seem like gruff reluctance, others outright rejection, (the other extreme being wanton neediness) but still all sick people like to be told to stay in bed, or take their medicine, or be excused from a bit of our daily responsibilities, or receive a bit more concern and understanding for what amounts often to a little secret self-pity.
it's our mothers' fault really.
