So I’ve got a cough. Just a cough. No other sort of, say, flu-like symptoms.

I definitely, definitely don’t have the swine flu.

So why is it that when I cough in public places — even though I cover my mouth and obsessively compulsively wash my hands — I’m met with these scared, sometimes dirty, looks?

Can’t a sista just have a cough??

Nope. Not in this day and age when the flu could literally kill you. No ma’am. Cough in your elbow! LOL!

All flus can kill you, Keianna!
But I’ll take note of this. Next time I see you, I’m totally coughing up all sorts of yuckiness your way.

Just………kidding?

Maybe there will be a major motion picture made about it. Tom Hanks could play you. Antonio Banderas could play… nope. no. Doesn’t work. You would first have to get fired for said cough. After someone sabotages your blog, of course.

Man. Philadelphia is a good movie. I’m half way through.
