Imagine a scene of Penny and Sheldon when Sheldon is sick. P for Penny, S for Sheldon.

S: Penny, would you pls come over to look after me?

P: Why?

S: I am sick.

P: So? Go find Leonard?

S: I don’t know where to find Leonard, he is not here. Nobody is round me.

P: You are a grown-up man, you know how to take care of yourself.

S: I can’t even move.

A few moments later, Penny is standing in front of Sheldon.

P: What do you want?

S: Would you pls make some soup for me?

P: I can’t.

S: Why not?

P: I don’t know how to make soup, especially for someone who is so picky. We can order takeouts if you like.

S: Fine. Make sure they put sweet corn in the soup and the soup is as warm as it is just boiled.

After drinking the soup, Sheldon is lying on the bed.

S: Penny, sing ‘soft kitty’ to me.

P: What is it?

S: It is a sick song. When I am sick, my mom always sings this song to me.

P: Okay, but I am not your mom, and I don’t know how to sing.

S: I will teach you. Now listen to me, “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur! Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr!” See, it is simple.

P: Soft kitty…

S: Nono…sing it with the gentleness from your heart.

Penny sang the song as tenderly as she could. Finally, Sheldon is satisfied with what Penny has done for him.

Though there is a thousand of time that Penny wants to argue or fight with Sheldon, she couldn’t admit that he is just a normal person when he is so weak.

Actually, I had a fever unexpectedly yesterday, and I was so tired and completely exhausted when I was sitting outside the doctor’s room, waiting. I think it is normal that we feel helpless and lonely when we are sick and weak. While I was lying on my bed, I thought about the above. What a warm scene between Penny and Sheldon.

I am a big fan of ‘The Big Bang Theory’, and I like all the characters in the series.
