Vignette 1

Elizabeth has given up soft drinks for Lent, and the following conversation ensued Wednesday night while she was searching in our medicine drawer.

Elizabeth: Mom, do we have anything for caffeine withdrawal?
Me: Well, what are your symptoms, then I’ll know what to give you.
E: You know, I’m having caffeine withdrawal since I’m not drinking Dr. Pepper.
Me: I understand that, but what are your symptoms, headache, stomachache, shakiness?
E: Nope, just tired.
Me: Well, get some sleep.
