Why Are Men Such Babies When They’re Sick?

Tadpole has been home, dealing with a fever and bad cough all week and he’s milking it for all he’s worth. Why is it when men get sick they are such babies?

I just hope all those coughed up germs at our house don’t make me sick! But it they do, I’ll take it like a man, or should I say woman.
