Brownies Cure All Ills

(My dad is a health-food nut, while I am… not. I am very sick, so I’ve been in bed, not eating, and am reduced to reading the dictionary because I am so bored.)

Dad: “I’m going to the store. Can I get you something? Juice?”

Me: “How about a panacea?” *meaning a cure for all sickness/problems*

Dad: “…How about a pan of brownies?”
