gesundheit!

I was at my parents' house for my sister's going away dinner (she's moving to sacramento for a year to work with homeless druggies and lushes) and my dad was checking out my computer. My mom was sitting next to him but with her back turned since she was playing backgammon with my aunt. All of a sudden, my dad turned towards my mom, and sneezed into his arm. He scared the pants off my mom in the process. This is the headline I'd write for the boston globe: "Local woman rests in area hospital after suffering heart attack brought on by husband's sneeze. Doctors expect a full recovery."
