A friend of mine coined this phrase. It's what you live through when your too-old-for-PBS/Disney Channel child stays home sick from school. Somehow, said child manages to find a cable channel that shows marathon runs of Full House. And then the whinings of DJ, Stephanie and Michelle Tanner become the background of your otherwise lovely day.
I suffered through one of these days on Tuesday. I also made the "just in case it's strep" trip to the doctor and wasted another $20 co-payment to learn it wasn't. Can one of these drug companies make a take it home strep test already?? I don't really need to go to the doctor for the umpteenth time to be told, "it's just a virus - drink plenty of fluids and get some rest."

Girl, I am so with you. TV is the most effective child attitude spoiler I've ever seen.
