While I sat in the reception area of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk. The woman took a long time talking with the receptionist, so the man sat silently alone. Just as I was about to start small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap & walked over to the man's wheelchair, and placed his little hand on the man's as he said, "I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller, too."
I was nursing my baby, when my cousin's 6-yr-old daughter came into the room. Evidently having never seen anyone breast feed before, she was intrigued & she asked all kinds of questions about what I was doing. After a while, she remarked, "My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them."
One day, while biking with my 8-yr-old granddaughter, I got a little wistful and I said: "In 10 years, you'll want to be with your friends, and you won't go walking, biking or swimming with me like you do now." My granddaughter shrugged. "In 10 years you'll be too old to do all those things anyway."
Working as a pediatric nurse, one of my duties is to give immunizations to children. One day, as I entered the examining room to give a 4-yr-old her needle, she screamed: 'No, no, no!' Her mother chided: "Lizzie, that's not polite behavior." The girl then yelled even louder, "No, thank you! No, thank you!"
After coming from a Cub Scout meeting, my grandson innocently asked his father [my son] "the" question. "Dad, I know that babies come from mommies' tummies, but how do they get there in the first place?" With his father [my son] stunned, fully taken by surprise and unable to give a satisfactory answer, my grandson finally spoke up and said. "You don't have to make something up, Dad. It's o.k. if you don't know the answer."
Just before I was deployed to Iraq, I sat my 8-yr-old son down & broke the news to him and told him that I was going to be away for a long time because I was going to Iraq. My son asked: "Why? Don't you know there's a war going on over there?"
One afternoon, the famous movie stars, Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman, [who also founded the Hole-In-The-Wall-Gang Camp for children with cancer, AIDS, & other blood diseases], stopped by to visit and have lunch with the kids. A counselor, who suspected that the young patients didn't recognize or know who the famous guests were, started to explain to the young crowd who Newman was by telling them: ". . .He's the man who made this camp possible. Maybe you've seen his picture on his salad dressing bottle?" After seeing no reaction but blank stares, the counselor continued, "Well, you've probably seen his face on his lemonade carton." Shortly thereafter, an 8-yr-old girl asked, "How long was he missing?"
