Episode 277: All Things Must Pass

Mazolli gets a cold. For the first three days he complains of a raw sore throat. The next three days he sniffles and whines a lot. Terrastina makes him hot broth and tells him to stop complaining. Men can’t handle pain, she says. I know, says Mazolli, we’re not used to it. Terrastina rolls her eyes and gives him more broth. For the next three days Mazolli coughs every five minutes. He takes cough medicine that does not really help. Eventually he gets tired and sleeps for days. The house is still. Terrastina eats ice cream with the twins.
