“Indoctrinated” May 11, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Medical School, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah , 4commentsHannah: “Mommy, do you have a sternal notch?”
Me: “What?” (think, think, think! What is she talking about? I have a sternum, I think.)
Hannah: “Mine’s right here!” (pointing to a spot on her neck)
Me: “Oh! You do! That’s great!” (what the heck is a sternal notch and why does she care?)
Because her dad and his doctor friends “indoctrinate” her as much as they can.
Some “indoctrination” overheard this week:
- I have a contusion on my patella. (a what on your what? Kid, speak ENGLISH.)
- Don’t touch my cut. Leave it alone. It needs to heal.
- My scab is a band-aid for my sore. (Uh, yeah, I guess so. I’ve never thought of it like that . . .)
She’s teaching me a thing or two.
