A short story about the "best remedy".

I knew a family close to us. The parents always took care of children, never let them go out if the temperature fell below 20°C. They had to eat remedies, vitamins every morning and if somebody became sick, that was the hell. Once one of them had fever and his parents closed him to “quarantine”. He was a prison of his own room, couldn’t go out neither to garden to don’t infect people. He had enough of this and brought some beers from the nearby store. He had hangover and the fever fade away. He said me that alcohol is better than all remedies, so he drinks every day instead of taking vitamins to prevent himself being sick again.

    Over protective parents make life very hard for their kids. A nice piece of writing.
