Not Fair!!

My kids absolutely LOVE when they are sick and get a prescription for antibiotics, amoxicillin to be specific. Unfortunately for them, they aren't sick very often so they rarely get to take it. So last week when Devynn ended up with a raging ear infection and was given a prescription for "the bubble gum medicine," as my kids call it, I knew that the other kids would be jealous. Boy, was I right.

"She gets to have the bubble gum medicine?! LUCKY!" said Rylee.

"That's not fair! She gets the bubble gum medicine and we don't!" cried Andrew.

I tried explaining to them that she had to suffer through being sick and having a painful ear infection in order to get the amoxicillin, so it wasn't very "lucky" of her. They didn't seem to care. They looked on with jealousy twice a day for the past week while Devynn got to drink down 10ml of their favorite pink stuff and they didn't. Life is just so unfair. ;)
