drugstore run

20 oz grape fanta, family sized funyons
and a bottle of ibuprofen should be good,
i think. right? how many ibu’s to a bottle?

500. that’ll be enough.

i take 12 a day. surely not.

that’s quite absurd, my darling.

i’ve got cramps and a migraine.

500 divided by 12 is 41, dearest.

two bottles, to be safe!

you shouldn’t even be taking them –
– they help with my aches, my pains.

no, no, no. i help with your aches, your pains!
i’ll get you a diet soda. a small bag of funyons, too.

you’re a fascist!

you’re a woman.
