Since stepping on a nail in the barn, Brother has been taking oral antibiotics--thick, cold, pink stuff that apparently doesn't taste real great. He takes this nasty dose 3 times a day, so he's getting pretty tired of it.
Yesterday, I handed him a syringe of the delightful stuff and he acted like I just handed him a syringe full of pond slime. So I told him if he plugged his nose, he wouldn't taste it.
He didn't believe me.
So I reached up and pinched his nose shut and encouraged him to "just do it." After a little arguing about it, I pinched his nose and said, "Ok, get it done, ready? 1.....2.......3....."
And at that point, he pushed the medicine out of the syringe as fast as he could. He just forgot one thing. HE FORGOT TO PUT THE SYRINGE IN HIS MOUTH.
He has it pointed at himself, but holding it about 8 inches from his face.
He shot it out with so much force it splattered off of his neck and shoulder onto a sizable portion of the floor and THREE walls. I just stood there, baffled by what just happened. He looked up at me, shocked by what just happened.
And although I didn't find the humor of it at the time, now I see...IT WAS REALLY FUNNY!!
Let's just hope he doesn't have aspirations to become a doctor someday....
