Crichton: What's that you're taking?
Me: Omega 3 Fatty Acid Soft Gel Vitamin.
Crichton: What the ...
Me: Fish oil pill.
Crichton: Why?
Me: To improve my brain function.
Crichton: Does it work?
Me: I think so (*fishy burp) excuse me.
Crichton: So did you remember to finish my Indiana Jones satchel?
Me: (unintelligible profanities muttered) Not yet.
Crichton: Maybe you should take an extra one.

I just have to thank Karen (A-Maezen) Miller for inventing deep breathing and counting and reminding me that my life is my practice and just being an amazing friend I've never met. Without her calm voice in my head, I wonder if I'd be able to just laugh with my funny funny monkey and appreciate the character he is.
3 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
I've heard if you keep the pills in the freezer you have less fishy burps and taste.

I've tried that, it didn't work. What works best for me is to take it 10 minutes before a decent sized meal or 10 minutes before I lose consciousness for 6 hours. However, I rarely remember to do so ... maybe the fish oil isn't working.
Oh, man, that kid should be "takin' an extra" dozen chores for that one! I'm sure you were thinking something along those, or possibly more violent, lines.
You should at least tell him he's going to learn to sew so he can make his own costume next year.
