I'm sick, two hours from school, and staying in a Jamaican couple's lavishly furnished house. The house feels like the walls have been shrunk two feet, so the furniture is just a little too large. I rub vick's on my chest and go to bed. Ten minutes later, a knock comes on the door, and the wife comes in. "You have vick's?" I nod my head. The pleasant stinging covers my chest. "Yes, but here?" She pats the top of her head. I crane my neck forward to see what she's talking about and she reaches down and rubs vick's vapo-rub into my hair.
I'm not sure what it was supposed to accomplish, but I feel better. I'll just assume it was the vick's on top of my head.
Aww, I'm glad you felt better. Are you feeling better now?
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of putting it in one's hair, but it sounds interesting.
I'm slightly shocked . . . I'm not sure how I would react to someone rubbing vick's on my head . . . (ew!) But I guess if it works.
ReplyDeleteI hope you start feeling better, Robby.
Wow, I can't imagine vick's on my head. Maybe I should try it next time I'm sick.
