I remember being sick as a kid. Like we all were.... every now and then you get a cold or the flu or some virus that knocks you on your ass for a few days. You stay out of school and you watch cartoons and drink gingerale from a little tupperware cup and your mom kisses your forehead and tucks you in and says "bless your heart" and you start to feel a little better.

I had a stomach virus recently that knocked me on my ass. It made me wax nostalgic about the old days.... and then I remembered being a kid.... and I see this image in glimpses... but I can remember the grey floral bedspread and the white furry (yes - furry) headboard my parents had... I was sick and I was dehydrated and or some shit and my mom had to fight with me to ram a suppository up my ass.... i was wearing pink shorts.... and I remember that suppository was like a goddam icecube.

So - as much as I look back and think, damn - as a kid I had it made.... at least, as an adult, I can decide what goes in my own ass.... ;)
