Sequel To The Children’s Classic, “My Teacher Sleeps In School”, Part 2
Doctor/Physician, Funny Kids, Grocery Store, Seattle, Siblings, USA, Washington | Related | August 22, 2020
When my brother is about five or so, he is at a grocery store with my mom. They happen to see our pediatrician there shopping for groceries, too. He and my mom greet each other, but my brother is confused.
Brother: “What are you doing here?”
Doctor: “I’m getting some things for dinner.”
Brother: “Don’t they give you food at the office?”
Doctor: “Sometimes people bring in food, but I’m having dinner at home with my family.”
Brother: “You have a home?”
Doctor: “[Brother], I don’t live at my office.”
For bonus points, our grandfather and two uncles are doctors, and Mom’s a nurse — and my brother was well aware that none of them lived at their offices or hospitals!
