Whoops!

Most days when I leave the house I feel like I should wear a giant sash that says "I apologize in advance if something my kids or I say offends you." I do realize that would need to be a huge sash, but it was a much needed one today.

Today was Josie's pre-op appointment. I have learned that for any major doctor appointment Josie should bring a favorite toy. The doctors are always willing to show Josie what will be done on her lovey and it makes her less scared. Josie's doll Avery joined us on our quest today. Avery is like an American Girl Doll, but apparently a bit huskier. Josie had asked that I put Avery's tights on in the waiting room. I got them on about a third of the way before we were called back to our room. Keep in mind it took me 20 minutes to get the tights on that far. We get back to our room, I continue my battle with the tights and Josie starts making us both high on dry erase markers.

After a few minutes the nurse comes in and asks Josie the standard questions. One of those questions is "Do you hurt anywhere?" Josie said she had a slight headache and the nurse made a note of it. The nurse leaves and in walks the doctor and med student. After a brief introduction the following conversation takes place.

Doctor: Josie, where is your pain?
Josie: I have a pain in the ass.
Me: Excuse me?
Josie: You said Avery's tights were being a pain in the ass. See (pointing at the tights), I have a pain in the ass.
Me: He wants to know if you hurt somewhere.
Josie: Oh, yeah my head still hurts.




So, who wants to make me that sash?
