I haven't asked any of my family members whether they approve of me using their names, likenesses, etc in this very public forum, so until a future time to be determined, we'll continue on with slightly amusing and annoying acronyms and nicknames.
Lil' B texted me today to ask "What does it mean when it sounds like you have a noisy bird in your ear?" I suppose it's a good thing that I can both answer and laugh at such questions. We spent some quality time on the phone discussing the possibilities. He made my job much harder by not having done any of the following:
- had the urge to try out a salt lick,
- drank approximately three pots of coffee,
- had a headache so massive that he ingested an unworldly amount of acetaminophen,
- and had avoided all manner of head injury while playing some puck.
I finally hit home with allergies and it became clear that while I have a Dr. in my title, I don't always appear to be one. Maybe they should think about making it a 5 year program to weed out the likes of me.
P.S. If it had been a grackle, his question would have been more aptly worded as such "What does it mean when it sounds like you have a band of monkeys hopped up on crack in your ear?" I'm pretty sure I would have called Western Psych to just go get him instead of answering him.
