Too much of anything can make you sick, even if it’s something really good. Chocolate cake is delicious, but if you ate it every day with every meal, you might get a little sick of it.

But it’s not just food that people get sick of. Anything that is repeated too much or experienced too often can cause you to throw up your hands and say, “I’m sick of this!”

When a song is repeated too often on the radio, people get sick of hearing it. Someone who hasn’t been in a relationship for a long time might start to feel sick of being single. Or if you are fed up with everything, you might say you are sick of life. If you are extremely sick of something you can say you’re sick and tired of it, or even sick to death of it.

Meryl Streep has appeared in nearly 50 films. Her first movie came out in 1971, almost 40 years ago. She jokes that people might be getting sick of her because she has been making movies for such a long time. But with 15 Academy Award nominations and 23 Golden Globe nominations, she is one of the most well-respected actresses in the US. Audiences haven’t gotten sick of her yet.

Is there anything you are sick of right now? What have you gotten sick of in the past?
