Too funny. I'll have to save this one to use on my husband the next time he's not feeling well (I'm both a smartass -and- unoriginal!).

a domestic moment
Anne: I have a fever. Me: The real kind, or the cowbell kind? Anne: The 100.2 degree kind. Me: That sucks. Is there anything I can do for you? Anne: I don't think so. Me: . . . can I get you some cowbell, just in case? Anne: . . . I'm going back to bed.
