Last week, I had an opportunity to be interviewed via phone by a psychologist about FTD/Picks. I thought I’d share how I reacted to our well-known standard questions that begin ALL our doctor visits.
What is your name? Where do you live? What is the date?
Answer: I know it must be March, right?
Day of the week?
Answer: Can we make it Saturday? I like Saturdays.
Last question: Who is the president of the United States?
Answer: Proudly I answered “Obama!” but before she could continue, I shouted, “Ben Lauden!!” ;o(
=================================
The kicker is, I was all puffed up about the president question, because a) he’s got a hard name to handle anyway and b) I was gonna impress her. To boot as often happens, when I’m speaking I suddenly get loud. Like I’m hard of hearing or something. When she started giggling I asked her what I’d said. Took a couple of mental rewinds and I was laughing too.
Lord, I want you to remember I don’t need much more humility, just in case I accidentally – as an enthusiastic youth – prayed for such things. As for other virtues, my mother always said: “For goodness sake! NEVER pray for patience.” When I had my first child I realized how true her words were. Lord, help us all.
