so my dude got a cold a couple months back. he decided to combat this by beginning to take all the multivitamins we have in the house. he has kept this up. one a day, morning and night, faithfully. i hear the bottles rattle. this is fine. one-a-day, vitamin b, fish oil, vitamin d. good.
today he comes into the living room with a bottle of ibuprofen. “i’ve been taking one of these a day because i thought this was a multivitamin,” he says.
“it’s what it says on the bottle,” I answer.
“but the pills are the same color as the one-a-day,” he counters.
“yeah but it’s what it says on the bottle,” i say. One ibuprofen a day. I know aspirin like that is good for you but I don’t know what ibuprofen does for you in low doses on the long-term. Nothing, probably.
“I didn’t say I was paying attention,” he said.
