Southern Hospitality...Straight from South Korea

Cast of Characters: (This may come in handy for future blogs, too).
My mother-in-law - she's from South Korea
Diana - my hot, lovely and half-Asian wife
Me - I'm Chad

My mother-in-law is so sweet...almost to a fault.

I got sick Tuesday night on the way home from Santa Ana. By the way..California traffic - B-R-U-T-A-L. Santa Ana is maybe 60 miles away. It took over three hours to get back from there.

Anyways, back to me. I thought it was sinuses, but it turns out that it was the flu. I don't understand how I got sick in this weather, but I did. I told Diana, but I told her not to tell her mom because I knew she would make a fuss over me. I hate when people make a fuss over me...kinda.

But last night she was talking to her mom on the phone and I hear her say, "Chad's been sick all day. He started feeling sick on the way home last night." Then I hear, "Because he didn't want you to make a fuss over him...he knows how you are." So they talk for a couple more minutes and then, in true "mother of Diana" fashion, her mom tells her, "Okay I gotta go. I love you," and then she hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, there's a knock on the door. Diana's mom walked through the door with a bag full of chicken soup and NyQuil. She even cooked it for me!! The chicken soup...not the NyQuil. I'm not complaining. The soup was good...and the NyQuil was even better. I'm was feeling pretty darn good after a couple of doses straight from the bottle. No sissy cup for me...just give it to me straight. And none of that cherry crap either. I want the "Green Death" flavor.

Mmmmm...chicken soup and NyQuil...it doesn't get much better than that.
