Question of the Day

Why do we bless people when they sneeze, but not when they cough?

I got caught in an awkward situation today when a co-worker made a noise, but it sounded like a cough/sneeze hybrid. Like a Griffin of head noises. A snough, I guess. Anyway, I didn't know how to react. Do I bless her or don't I. I didn't, but I'm still not sure it was the right call.

If we just blessed both coughs and sneezes my life would have been a lot easier today.

(not that it was a hard day. I am aware many many people had a much much worse day, for which I already donated to Oxfam to do my small part, thus making this rant about my tough day okay)
