A side bar to my earlier post about our adventure at A&E last night. You know the old cliché “you know you are getting older when the doctors and police officers start to look like children”. Well I lived this last night. My mother-in-law’s doctor fit the bill. At one point during our marathon wait someone asked him what time his shift ended. He said “midnight”. I wanted to ask if he had permission from his parents to be out that late! I swear the guy did not look old enough to have finished medical school…talk about Doogie Hower or what. Don’t get me wrong he was very kind, considerate, thorough and had a decent bedside manner. He just made me feel old. It reminded me of last autumn when we had something stolen and had to make a police report. The officer walked in and both Pam and I stood with our mouths open. It literally looked like this kid borrowed his dad’s uniform and boots! I guess I just need to accept that I’m getting older.
