Green Problems


Petite Pedia Plots #165

*To me, red and green are lucky colors.  So I chose to wear a moss green dress to work yesterday being the first day of the year. 

There has been a surge of admissions secondary to vomiting and/or loose stools.  As I did my rounds on these patients, I would ask the parents how the stools of their respective children were.  3 of the Moms looked at me, then at my dress and said something to this effect: “Dra, the color of the stools look like your dress.” 

Needless to say, the green dress has now been banished to the back of my closet accompanying the green jacket from a previous blog.

Petite Pedia Plots 108 While at a stop sign, I looked down and opened a pack of biscuits. The policeman saw me and probably thought I was texting. So, when I looked up, I saw him approach my car and tell me, "Mam, bawal mag text!" On my right hand was a piece of cracker and majority of it was already in my mouth. Obviously I wasn't texting and so since napahiya na siya, sabi na lang niya, "Mam, kaya tayo tumataba niyan eh." and let me go. Buti na lang di ko naisipang sagasaan si Kuya. Hmmmp.

Petite Pedia Plots 127 Part of the routine check-up for well babies is checking on their developmental milestones.  With this 6 month old baby, I asked the Dad if the baby liked looking at himself in the mirror.  Dad answered, "Oh yes!  I think he got that from his Mom.  Mom likes to spend hours looking at herself in the mirror!" Too much info, Dad! From www.openspacesfengshui.com

Guessing Game

Daughter Duties 26 Photo from www.leadingtolearning.com During dinner last night, Mom was telling me about this TV soap actress that Mom and Dad both like. Both of my parents have been racking their brains for about a wk (?!)   and they haven't come up with her name yet. So, I try to help them out.  Me: Is she young or old?  D and M: Middle-age! Me: Is she someone I have watched? D and M:  "Yes yes!"  Me: Award-winning?  D and M:"Yes! Yes! She always plays the Mom in soap oper as!" Me: Hmmm, Jaclyn Jose?  D and M: "Nooooo!" It took me about an hour and going on the internet and showing them pictures to find out who she was.  It was Cherry Pie Pecache. After that, Mom again said,"I don't like this certain TV host/actress". And she proudly tells me that the host's name is "Austin!" Mom, I don't know anyone called "Austin" on local TV!!! And so, we go through the whole guessing game again.
