A Tough Pill To Swallow
I work in the wellness department of a natural foods store. We often work with customers to sift through our products and help them pick the right ones.
Customer: “Hi. I’m looking for a calcium supplement for my kids. I don’t need anything fancy — no flavors or anything because they can swallow pills.”
Me: “Wow, aren’t you lucky!”
Most parents have a horrendous time trying to find something their kid will willingly take because most kids can’t swallow pills.
Customer: “Oh, they’re seven and twelve; of course they’re fine.”
Me: “Huh. I couldn’t swallow pills when I was seven.”
Customer: “Well, we’re all a little spoiled. If your parents had made you, you would’ve gotten them down.”
Maybe so, but my parents didn’t abuse me.
