Glad to hear that

My home phone rings.

Dr. Grumpy: "Hello?"

Mom Grumpy: "Hi, Ibee, it's mom."

Dr. Grumpy: "Hi, mom, how ya doing?"

Mom Grumpy: "Fine, but you wouldn't believe what just happened! Dad and I went to the Dragon Grease Chinese buffet tonight, and our internist, Dr. Osler, was there! Eating dinner!"

Dr. Grumpy: "Well, mom, doctors go out to dinner, too."

Mom Grumpy: "Yeah, but they should know better than to go to an unhealthy place like Dragon Grease!"

Dr. Grumpy: "Mom, I met you guys at Dragon Grease 2 weeks ago!"

Mom Grumpy: "You don't count."

    This is when you NEED to count.....to ten, while taking deep breaths.

    That's actually very sweet... or offensive (either you don't count 'cause you're her precious little boy, or you're not really a doctor in her mind)...

    actually, from a family perspective, that's still very sweet... just sayin'...

    You never have and you never will, it was always about your (brother or sister) fill in the appropriate blank.

    Well, at least you know where you stand with your mother! She's probably remembering when you knew the answer to the diagnosis the medical drama series was discussing while you were doing laundry all those years ago. You're not a real MD, remember? :0D

    He's my internist,too!
    If Dr. Osler was eating there, I'm sure it's all artisanal.

    Doctors go out to dinner too?!?! no way! Next thing you're going to be telling me is that doctors go on vacation, have families of their own and *gasp* go to bed at night!!!!!

    But you remember to take some HCTZ right after you leave the place to prevent a massive stroke.

    I am betting on Mingle's theory, but you would think that your Mom would know 1001 ways to cook up a yak by now and would not want to eat any in a restaurant....hmmm....unless she gets a discount because of your herding.
