I’m not sure you all share my sense of humor — but this post, from back in Spring of 2006, still makes me laugh:
Name That Absurdity
Lots of little oddities are overheard in this crazy sugar- challenged life we lead. Care to take a gander
at which statements recently peppered which daily situations? (Answers are below, but no cheating now!)
A) “Did you wipe yet?”
B) “WATER VERY HOT”
C) “Not now! I’m shooting a threebie correction”
D) “Didn’t you wear those socks yesterday?”
E) “Place urine HERE”
F) “There’s a green orange in it!”
G) “How come Daddy’s is bigger?”
H) “Ms. Tenderich, can I see your needles?!”
I) “Sure, I can drink now. I’m high”
J) “Now my tush is NOT LEAVING THE CHAIR until I eat this. Got it?”
K) “I need to lie down, or you’ll be very sorry”
L) “Oooh, I don’t like that blood boo-boo!”
M) “Make a fist… Goodness, not like that!”
N) “You put a needle in your glass?”
O) “MOOOMMM, Mikayla doesn’t believe me that you have diabetes!!”
Now check your score, below. If you got 12 or more correct answers, I might consider taking you along on my anniversary getaway to Palm Springs next week (you need a break!). If you’re not a parent, but still only got 3 or less correct, you must be a diabetes newbie. Welcome to our world!
{ A, C, D, and J – The Breakfast Hour with my 3 munchkins; F, G, I, and N – The Cocktail Hour with 3 munchkins nosing in; B, E, K, and M – Fun and Games at the Hospital Lab; H, L, and O – Volunteering in the Classroom (was never this much fun!) }
Life with diabetes and all it’s diabetesisms that make you/us LOL!
