Refunds

So here's the deal. The bones in my foot grew wrong when I was a kid and now I have to have surgery to fix them so that they stop hurting. Lovely, right? So, I'm scheduled to go under the knife two weeks from today and one of my colleagues asked if I'm going to have any "elective work" done while I'm in because I have to be on bedrest for a few weeks. He said that would be the perfect time to secretly let a nose job, nips or tucks heal. Not sure how to take that advice...

Anyway, when I found out I had to have surgery my doctor took one look at my x-rays and said, "You should probably ask your parents for a refund. What kind of warranty do you have?"

After I left the clinic I called my dad and told him what he had said. He shot back, "What about our refund? We ordered a perfect a perfect child. Now we find out you're defective?"

Sorry, Dad. I'll see what I can do.

Haha! Gotta love Dads! My father said something to the effect of "Better get that taken care of! You don't want him marrying damaged goods" when, right before the wedding, I found out I needed to get some cavities filled. ;-)

Thanks, Reuben! I haven't decided if posting while on pain killers would be a good idea or a horrible idea. Hmm...

Omg, Kate, that is priceless. I love that he was worried about your husband getting damaged goods...not the fact that you WERE damaged goods. Ha!

Boy, I wish all my defects could be cured with something as simple as surgery... really he's getting a great deal!

Posting while on painkillers is clearly an awesome idea, and cannot possibly fail.
