Ego Strokes

My people want to avoid a doctor's office but there are some good things to be said.

Unfortunately I have spent a lot of time waiting in doctors' offices. Not all of the times have been for serious reasons but some have. Most of the time I have been with someone else; waiting with and for them.

During these waiting times I have had my ego stroked on several occasions. I have been mistaken for the mother, rather than the grandmother, of my infant grandsons. I did not fool myself that those people thought I was really young but they must have thought I was young (in my 40's perhaps) enough to have had babies. This was indeed flattering.

I was told, by the person I was with, that she overheard a conversation about how my children (actually they are my grandchildren) look like me. What a nice compliment as my grandsons are so adorable.

Just yesterday the receptionist thought I was the sister of the person I was with. She is 21 so that would make me, what? Well, I would assume much younger than my actual age.

So with all of this said, perhaps I should spend more time in doctors' waiting rooms so that I can have my ego stroked. All of those people are so nice (or they do not have good eyesight - lol).

Here's to good health.
