…make me love my job.

Story #1:

On Tuesday, in the middle of one of my sessions, one of my 7-year-old kiddos yelled “I have to pee!”  So I hurried him to the bathroom, set him up in front of the toilet, and said, “OK! Go pee pee!!”  We waited a few seconds and nothing happened.  I asked, “Uh…I thought you had to go.”  He replied by saying “Yeah, I did.  Maybe it ran out of batteries.”  Heh.  I got a good laugh that morning.

Story #2:

This afternoon we had planned an outing to the McDonald’s down the street from the hospital.  Unfortunately due to the events of the morning, we had to change our plans and stay in the hospital for the afternoon and had to resort to a Plan 2.  My intern made the suggestion of going out to get McDonald’s for the kids and having them eat together.  We did just that AND set up a drive-thru with 2 windows for the kids to drive up to.  The first window was for ordering and paying while the second one was for picking up your order.  We happened to have a McDonald’s cash register and put one of the kids in charge of taking the orders.  The others got on tricycles and other little riding toys and paid with Monopoly money.  We all had a good time and the kids did too.  Heh heh.
