Really?? Really.

This is a facebook status that a sorority sister of mine posted today:

Dear illness: please leave me and my boys alone! We take vitamins, eat well, work hard and play hard. Go bother someone single please!

I'm sorry.  I didn't realize that when a person took a vow of marriage & popped out a kid or two that they also were granted immunity from the sickness gods.  If that is the deal, maybe I will begin to take this whole "marriage" thing a little more seriously.

I mean, single people have enough issues already to deal with- we don't need to take on married people's quota of cold & flu.  We have family members constantly asking us if we are dating anyone seriously, grandparents reminding us that they aren't getting any younger and, in my case, parents secretly wondering if you are gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).  And like I told my folks years ago- I'm not gay.  I'm just a failed heterosexual.

So, ease up girl.  And remember you live in a society where we all - married & unmarried alike - should be treated equally.  If this anti-single behavior continues, I'll be forced to start a single brigade to cough on your salads & hawk lugies in your espresso.
