Oh Dear...

When a woman loves a man she buys him vitamins.

Some time ago -- because I love David -- I bought him some vitamins. I even splurged the extra few dollars and bought the expensive name brand version rather than the cheaper Costco Kirkland version.

Because I love him that much. Only the best for my man.

And when a man loves a woman -- he takes his vitamins. Right?

But, no. Not so.

No.

No.

No. Not so.

David never touched his vitamins. He politely received them as though I were handing him fruitcake from the middle ages and gently set them aside to collect dust.

And the bottle sat there...for days. Weeks. Months. Like a silent and deadly reminder of rejection and early widowhood. I felt hopeless and lost. Confused, until one day I discovered



I give Dave 2-3 a day.

No complaints. No resistance. Just one comment:

"These are pretty good."

Thank you 'Lil Critters Gummy Vites'. What love could not do, you did with a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement that kids AND grown men love! No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Your six great flavors have saved this marriage.
