Northridge, CaliforniaSorry, I wasn’t listening
when you were talking
about your dog. I was
busy looking in my
phone for a picture of
my superior dog.
—@primawesomeOur doctor’s office
called to let my
husband know that
the results from his
blood tests came back
and he was just fine.
That didn’t suit my
husband.
“What’s my choles-
terol level?” he asked.
“Mr. Crocker, you are
just fine,” insisted the
nurse.
“Still, I’d like you to
mail me the results.”
A few days later, heMy great-aunt looked
confused when I told
her that my daughter
was 18 months old.
“Oh,” she said. “I
thought she was a year
and a half.”
