I was called a "MAN" today!!

Yes, you read the title correctly - I was called a "MAN" today!! Funny story really...

Was following this paediatrician to see a 2+ year old boy who came into hospital for his asthma. He was such an adorable little boy - cute, chatty (really good vocab for such a young age), active (was literally jumping all over the place, I kid you not!), yet clung endearingly to his friendly mum. It was a little difficult to get his cooperation to examine him at first but a tricky tip of making the physical examination into a little "game" soon got him cooperating with us. And before you know it, he started giving out high 1's, 2's, 3's (his fingers got a little stuck at this one, hehe), 4's, and 5's at us...



Sample photo of a high 3. Nope, this isn't the boy's hand but my chubby, ugly fingers looking chubbier and uglier because of the bent fingers - yup, just mimicking what the boy did - he didn't give out straight-fingered high 3's but bent-fingered high 3's! :p



When we were about to leave, he started sulking: "You don't leaveeeeee..." And to complete the picture, he hugged the paediatrician and laid his head on his lap...

Do I hear an *aww* from you readers? ;)

Then his mum told him, "Ok now, say thank you to the young doctors."

"Thank you, man!"

Try and picture our amused faces at this greeting...

"No no, there are some man doctors and some lady doctors too."

Somehow, the word "lady" has yet to be registered in his dictionary...

"Thank you, man! Bye bye, man!"

We began laughing and proceeded to leave the room...

"Bye bye, MAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!"

And that's the story of me being called a "MAN" today... :p
