Sympathy Is Number One

(Flu season is really bad this year, and despite vaccination, I catch a nasty case. I’m really bad at being sick, and my husband and I argue about how much I’m allowed to do while ill. He has banned me from doing almost anything on my own, and I’ve been getting a little stir-crazy despite the fever, chills, and aches. He comes into the room as I’m climbing back into bed.)
Husband: “Are you okay? I heard you rattling around in here.”
Me: “I just got up to use the loo and re-wet my wash cloth.”
Husband: “I could’ve done that for you!”
Me: *pauses* “Repeat that?”
Husband: “I could’ve done that for you! You should really stay in bed.”
Me: “I’m not sure you can pee for me, Babe.”
Husband: *joking* “I could pee in sympathy. Like that time I rubbed your back when you had food poisoning, and ended up puking right after you finished?”
Me: “Thanks for reminding me of that. I totally needed it right now.”
Husband: “Anything to make you feel better!”
