So, there we are, me and the two short people, waiting in the exam room of the eye doctor’s office. First we saw the technician, who performed all the basic tests, then we saw the senior technician, who performed more tests, now we were just waiting for the doctor to come in and tell us what we already know. Nothing has changed.
For some reason, it was taking an extraordinarily long time for the doctor to come in and release us. Usually things move along at a pretty good pace, but today, the natives were getting restless. The older one wanted to get back to school (she’s young yet) and the younger one wanted to explore every possible nook and cranny of the very small space. As I say, things normally roll along pretty quickly so I didn’t bring the toy bag, as some times it can be more distracting than helpful.
Then inspiration hit, I have an iPhone. That means I have music AND a speaker. Voliá! That cramped exam room became a dance hall. The three of us shook and shimmied our way through LeAnn Rimes “Nothin’ better to do”, Tim McGraw’s “Last Dollar” and Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester” just to name a few. The doctor eventually made it in somewhere in the middle of Rodney Atkins “These are My People”.
As we walked out of the office into the waiting room, my three year old loudly announced “That was fun at the eye doctor’s office, can we do it again soon?” Sure buddy, let’s say about 6 months ok?
