. . .With a Vodka Back

Me, looking at the prescription bottle of Tylenol and Codeine for my daughter who sprained her arm:  “How much am I supposed to give her?”

Big Daddy, reading the enclosed literature: “5 ml every 6 hours as needed for pain.”

Me: “OK, thanks.” Pause while my wheels are spinning  ”What if the mama wants to take some?”

Big Daddy, without hesitation: “Then you triple the dose and take it every hour.”
