There is literary precedent for that. Ahab says it about the whale: "He tasks me."
And it's in the sense of "he instructs me to do something" or something along those lines? Not "he burdens me"?
Anyway, I can no longer flinch at tasking when there are people in the world who say incent.
I hope Em feels better soon, Aimee.
Thanks guys.
David, I'm hoping the amox knocks her out. But, Joe's on Em-duty once he gets back from Rite-Aid.
Oh, Aimee. {{{{Em}}}} Poor thing! Poor you! I hope she's ok and you can get some rest.
Poor wee Em, and poor tired Aimee.
Just back from hospital - Em's fever shot up to 103.3.
Poor baby! And it's so scary when they're that hot. You were completely right taking her to the ER. Here's to quick-working amoxycillin and some sleep for her tired mommy. {{{Em and Aimee}}}
Oh, poor baby! {{{Emma and Aimee}}}
Not "he burdens me"?
That one.
David, I'm hoping the amox knocks her out.
Amoxocilin? Does that have the power of sleepy? Motrin and Benadryl I can vouch for.
Poor little Em. She'll be so much better soon.

I should pitch that.
"he burdens me"
I take it back. brenda has convinced that this was exactly the correct word for the situation.
((Em)) ((Aim)) ((MM)) I hope your darling baby girl feels better soon and that you get some good sleep. Poor infected kidling...
eta: a verb
eta2: that other word I missed on my first edit.
