OLD FOLKS'

OLD FOLKS'


On Monday, I was just telling Dad not to purchase any of my meals for the time being, but vegetables such as cabbage instead. This is because I want to "cleanse" my stomach.

Now, I'm aware that there is no scientific research backing the claims of the supposedly health benefits of "stomach cleansing". But, oh well, considering that my bowel system is having a mini-riot of late, I figured that it might be good. In addition, I would like to experiment leading a healthier lifestyle - taking a short little break from the usual feasts of carbohydrates, MSG, sauces, condiments, and preservatives.

But because I'm lazy to explain all these in detail, I simply told him that I want to "cleanse" and "detoxify" the stomach.



Dad, instead, upon hearing it, coolly told me to "go drink Dettol and shake shake a bit".



I don't know. I'm thinking of an old folks' home. Hmmm...
