dessert to medication

my relatives from Detroit came for a visit a couple of weeks ago, as a result of my grandmother's cousin arriving two weeks prior. we went out doing the usual tourist things. and had the night of karaoke (see entry named: karaoke mania)

one night during dinner, while bouncing in and out of consciousness, i was catching bits and pieces of their "catching up" conversation. when i suddenly hear...

"do u have this one? the glycosomin? it helps with my sugar level. you should try!"

you know you're getting old when u start talking about your medication like it's dessert.

what my friends and i say:
"have you tried that "So Good" cake at jDs? it's sooooo good! it's healing food, it's healing food!"

what my friends and i say (plus 60 years):
"did you try that new muscle relaxant? the doctor gave me free samples! you should try! it really heals my arthritis! it heals!"

i can't wait until i start talking about my meds with my best friends.
