Fresh Hell


Mom has a roommate at the hospital. I respect her privacy, so I won’t tell you about any addictions she might have. But, the roomie, who I will call MethTeeth, is around sixty.

She and her husband.

Talk baby talk to each other.

All. Day. Long.

  1. My husband and I, sadly, went through that phase when we were first married. Luckily, we grew out of it. Maybe it was the absence of meth that allowed us to do that.

  2. What the hell? How ancient is this hospital?There are no hospitals locally that do not have all private rooms. Seriously, it is the only sane way to be hospitalized.That is just the cherry sitting atop the all stress sundae isn’t it?

  3. Shared rooms are the worst. and meth teeth are possibly the nastiest thing in the world.Aside from, you know, incessant baby talk.

  4. You know those couples who call each other Mother and Father, even when the kids aren’t around? Yeah, they annoy the crap out of me. Hearing it in baby talk would be 1000 times worse.

  5. Autumn – Most vomitous. Vomitissimus, as they would say in Latin. Or, this would also be a good use of the correct version of “nauseous.”Candy – really? That’s perverted. And that’s from someone who has sex dreams about her mom.Zayrina – The first woman who was in a room with Mom ended up having the flu. They moved Mom and started scrubbing in minutes. But yes, I know of no hospitals in Saint Louis where you can be assured of a private room.Catherine – speaking of God, at one point Methy had someone come in to say the Lords Prayer with her.Katie – no, the worst thing is whiny Methteeth talking baby talk. Post to follow.TasterSpoon – I didn’t know if Mom was catching on to how annoying they were until she gurgled out “whiny” after they left.Melissa – Ew! I know! And it’s a very Baptist minister thing to say, too.Big Dot – I bet you have very articulate children, now.Shania – Does Shannie-wannie wanna suck meh iddeh bidda balls?

  6. Oh Dear. I hope I haven’t angered the Queen. I was trying to provoke maybe even a fleeting half smile in an un-smileable situation. I can keep my head?
