A story from last year

I just came across - and it had me in stitches. Last year - of course, wasn't much different health-wise for Howie - and it found us again in the doctors office. Here's what I recorded....

We've moved into the doctor's office (hey, better than the ER, right? the cool thing is - they told me I didn't have to make any more appts, I could just come in, and they'll give us a room!) Anyway - he was a little high from the sterroids they give him for his asthma - (makes him kind of jittery and "busy" so he was really talking up a storm & bouncing from topic to topic) the nurse came in & she had vanilla lotion on - right when she walked in - you could REALLY smell it -

Howie said "Does it smell like roasted marshmellos in here?"

She laughed & commented it was her lotion.

Howie kept asking her "Are you eating roasted marshmellows" and "Did you brush your teeth with marshmellows?" But WAIT - that's not the funny part...

The doctor came in right as the nurse was leaving & sat next to Howie on the exam talbe to hear his lungs - there they are sort of sitting next to each other & swinging their legs off the exan bed, and making small talk...

The doctor scooted over closer to Howie & told him he needed to listen to his lungs, took the stethescope to Howie's back (Howie had to lean slightly forward) & right then Howie said (and I SWEAR I have never heard him say this before - just not something we say in our house) "Careful, it's loaded" and then he ripped the loudest, longest fart you have EVER heard - it was a MAN fart like no ones' business - of course, the doctor and I were BUSTING our GUTS and Howie didn't skip a beat - "Smells like marshmello's in here, doesn't it?" ROFL! I knew what he was talking about, but we could NOT stop laughing!
