Talk to Your Father Today

Discussing allergy meds with father on the phone took an unexpected turn on Monday...

Moi: Do you take Zyrtec or Benadryl?

Father: Neither, it starts with a 'V'.

Moi: Claritin?

Father: No. V-something.

Moi: There're no allergy meds that start with a 'v' and you're not on Viagra.

Father: That's the word! It's not Viagra but it's something similar. It's always on TV.

(did I mention that I'm standing in CVS when I'm having this conversation?)

Moi: (mental image of 2 old people in bath tubs overlooking a cliff) It's NOT Zyrtec or Benadryl? Not Claritin? Not Viagra. Please don't say Cialis... Allegra?

Father: That's it. Allegra.

Moi: Oh, thank God.
