Funny Story

If I can explain this well, it's a VERY funny story, so hang with me.....

Two weeks ago I had to take my son to a natural health clinic to get something about his eye checked up on. We got into the examination room, the nurse came in and asked him different questions about his health.

One of the questions that she asked was if there was anything that he was allergic to. I answered that he doesn't drink dairy-milk because of allergies that he had when he was an infant. She asked what he does drink and I told her "Rice-milk". The lady sort of looked at me funny and wrote it down and went on her merry way.

Then, a few days later we were back in this office for a check-up on his eye. The Dr. came in, was very pleased with the results and had to go into the other room to get something. As he was leaving he handed me my son's medical sheet, I just thumbed cautiously through it with a gleam in my eye because I felt like I was reading something that I wasn't supposed to.

Under where it lists allergies, I saw that she had noted that he drinks: Breast-milk.

What?

An 11 year old boy still drinking breast-milk?

I soon realized that the woman looked at me strangely when I said, "Rice-milk" because she thought I said what she thought I had said (see above).

I told the kids about it, we had a really good laugh (we were all in the room) and then I hastily scribbled out "Breast-milk" and wrote "RICE MILK" in big letters..... so that if anyone had any doubts, they would understand what he really drinks.

Just think, that nurse probably won't ever read his allergy chart again, and everytime she sees me, she'll think of what he pours on his cereal in the morning.

Ha,
