A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned,asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed. "Breast-fed," she replied.
"Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered. She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination. Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said,
"No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk."
"I know," she said, "I'm his Grandma, but I'm glad I came."
Would you believe me if I said that I made this one up? I didn't think so. It's from the usual source. Today is silly Friday, you know.
OOoooohhh that inner trollop is out and running about the place now.
ReplyDeleteThere was a piece in one of the UK papers earlier this week about a woman who is a grandmother at 36. This would hardly make the news in Alabama or Louisiana, would it?
ReplyDeleteTheMe, the trollop is out of control. She is in charge.
ReplyDeleteLapin, that could be two 18 year old mothers. Not shocking here, nor, I'll wager, is it all that shocking in the UK.
Hey, my niece was a granny at about that age! I had no idea Lapin's shock threshold was so low.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul, my kindred spirit with a high shock threshold
ReplyDeleteDid I express shock? The only, slight, cause for shock was that the British newspaper thought it newsworthy.
ReplyDeleteLapin, I am relieved. The thought of Mimi and me having to clean up our act so as not to startle the hares was just too much.
ReplyDeleteMimi, I have been working on my 'crochety old man' persona and you are ruining it. Stop making me laugh so much!
ReplyDeleteLapin, in Louisiana you can be a great-grandmother at 36.
ReplyDeleteJim, give up the "crochety old man" bit.
ReplyDeleteOrmonde! 12, 12, 12? That's a stretch.
So where can I get stuff from Doug? Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBob
Bob, I know of three of us Episcopal/Anglican bloggers who have an inside track with Doug. Two of us have actually met him in real life, as opposed to mere virtual acquaintance. (You shoulda been in New York) I, for one, am not about to reveal my source. He's much too valuable to me, when I have nothing to say. I know. That's not Christian on my part, and I just got back from church, but I'm afraid that's how it is. Sorry, love. ;o)
