Telling it like it is..

I took Thing Two in to see the doctor today. Not that his symptoms truly warranted it. But, I was being impatient Mom, wanting to rule out strep while Hubby was working from home today (allowing me to leave Thing One with Hubby, making it an appt of convenience as well).

So the Doc asks him "Do your ears hurt?"
"Yeah they do. But that's because, well you know, my brother he chatters A LOT and that hurts my ears".

I'm not sure how that doctor managed to keep from laughing but I"m sure he made a bee-line for the nurse's station to share the humor with the nurses. I know I sure would have had I been on that end of the stethoscope!
