Our family comedian has been working overtime lately. Bad thing is the more Jr thinks he is funny, the more he tries to be. Being in the medical field along with SuperMom, we try to explain medical things as they are. So recently I was scheduled to have a colonoscopy. Since you are not able to eat the day before, of course the topic came up. "Dad, why aren't you eating?". "Because I have to have this procedure tomorrow and my stomach needs to be empty", etc was my reply. Of course this leads to more questions and more questions. Answers range from "looking at the inside of your stomach region with a camera" to "just to make sure everything is ok". The camera part must have stuck out. Yesterday at dinner, which by the way was a month since the procedure, Jr says "Dad do you have the pictures from the camera they put up your butt?". I simply replied No!, while he laughed as hard as he could. Never did I think my life would become what it has. Oh well, at least he keeps me awake.
The other day SuperMom, Lu, and Jr went to the local pizza shop to pick up some food for dinner. DP and I were at football practice. It seems like we are there a lot these days. So while waiting on the food to be finished, Jr had to use the restroom and went into the small restroom in the pizza shop. Very quickly, he exited the restroom. To that SuperMom told him to go back into the restroom and wash his hands. Jr asked how she knew he hadn't washed his hands. SuperMom explained that he was in and out too fast to have washed his hands, so he went back in. However, very quickly he exited and said he didn't have to wash his hands. Eager to hear why he didn't have to, SuperMom asked him why. Jr replied that there was a sign in the restroom that said "Employees must wash their hands prior to going back to work". Jr was sure he wasn't an employee and thus didn't have to wash his hands. Needless to say, Super Mom straightened him out on this. |
