The other day we were in a doctor’s waiting room for some routine wait. In the corner diagonally opposite me was a man reading a magazine, which had been thoughtfully provided by the doctor. This man happened to have the worst hacking cough I had heard in a long time. I was concerned and hoped he was covering his mouth when he coughed. He was. He was using the magazine. Yes, he was coughing into the magazine.
Think about that the next time you are in a doctor’s office wondering which magazine would help pass the time.
Even my grandson learned what to do in nursery school. He showed me how he was supposed to cough into the crook of his arm, at the elbow area.
“So germs won’t get on the toys.”
Of course, they don’t have magazines in nursery school.
