Vitamins

As soon as a doctor finds out you’re pregnant. They pull out their prescription pad and scribble something only a person behind a plastic laminate counter in the back of a ‘drugstore’ can comprehend.

“You need to take vitamins” Doc said.

I’ve heard of pre-natal vitamins. They supposedly make your hair and nails stronger and grow like wild fire. Call me vain, but I’m all for that!

I filled the prescription at my local spot, Brought the box home and opened it up to start taking the vitamins. The instructions were: Take one of each daily with a meal. Okay, I can follow directions.

BUT WHAT I CAN’T FOLLOW IS HOW TO OPEN THE DAMN THING!!!!!!

It says ‘Peel’. I dug my fingernail into the edge and I tried to ‘Peel’ goshdarnit! I know I’m not the stronger woman on earth, but I ain’t the weakest either! This should just require a simple ‘peel’ back of the paper NOT a membership to the Weightlifting Gym!

I ran to Hubby. “You want a healthy baby? PEEL!”

Well obviously Hubby isn’t strong enough to ‘Peel’ either cause he went to the kitchen, got a knife and made a slit in it and got the vitamins.

So now every morning after breakfast, I arm myself with a knife and stab where it says ‘PEEL’ and dig out the pills.
