Don't know if I can write this down to sound as funny as the doctor involved thought it was........... I was a very young bride, and a teenage mother. When I grew up, raising my kids, they either had to go tinkle or potty. I had not yet learned the technical terms for either. My son was 15 months old, and for Christmas I gave him an early American rocking chair (child sized) The next month, he got very sick, and I took him to the dr. His symptoms were fever, he was red and his tummy was very hard! Dr. Culpepper examined him and said..."Marilyn, has he had any hard stools?" And I replied, " No, but I got him a rocking chair for Christmas, but it has a cushion on it". He stared at me for a while, then busted out laughing, and called his nurse in and told her what I said...........they just stood there cracking up. I can look back at that and laugh now.......but at the time, had no idea what was so funny! |
