The (Mis)Adventures of Dr. D

Pedia Plot #162: Due to the pandemic, most doctors, me included,  have shifted to online tele consultations by appointment.  I had an appointment today at 5pm for a tele consultation with a patient.  Like always, this Mom is very punctual and texted me at 5pm to ask if the check-up would proceed since my clinic was closed.   Apparently, they were outside my clinic while I was here .... AT HOME.....waiting for them to go online.  😂😂😂

Daughter Duties #62 Like most people, my Mom loves receiving gift and promo certificates and storing it in her bag for future use. Due to the ECQ, my Mom has been worried that some of her certificates might be expired so we check them one by one. Mom: “Itong mga SM, ok pa ba?” Me: “Yes, Mom.” Mom (bringing out another set): “Itong mga ‘to?” Me: “Yup, Mom.  Matagal pa ‘to.” Mom: “Itong mga Jollibee? Gamitin natin pag pwede na uli tayong makalabas. Gusto ko ng tuna pie.” Me (eyes widening): “Mom, mapapaaway na tayo pag gamitin pa natin itong mga ‘to.” Mom: “Bakit? Bawal na naman gamitin at isabay ang senior discount? Hmp. Bago lang yan ha.  Kasama pa nga kita nung binigay yan.” Me: “Oo, Mom.  Kasama ako.  Binigay yan nung bagong bukas ang Double Dragon 2 YEARS ago. Matagal-tagal nang expired yang certificate ninyo. Tapon na natin ha.”
