small world

ei, what do you know...  my high school buddy and my childhood playmate, both doctors (OB-Gyn), now working together at the same hospital in saudi arabia...  small world...  : )

when my high school buddy was working on her papers for the KSA, i told her i have a former neighbor who works as a doctor in the middle east, i just don't remember which country.  well, now i know not just the country but the hospital as well (saad specialist hospital in al-khobar).  instead of me telling her, she's the one informing me from afar...  nicey-nice to know...

hmmm...  i wonder how i came up in their conversation...  that i have to ask...  ; )

worse

i tell a male friend that a license-type warranty card for the item he bought for me, registered under his name, will be delivered by courier to his place.

now he lives alone and is out of the house most of the time.  he goes, 'oh, i should have used your address...'

me:  'huh?!  no way!  that would create records that would seem to indicate that we're living together!'

the guy chuckles and then goes, 'we should have used your mom's address then...'

yeah, right!  so 'twill appear as if we shacked up with my parents' blessings...  ugh!

don't hold on

some things you do on the basis of certain assumptions... once an assumption is proven wrong then you adjust your actions accordingly...

the tall and short of it

nephew:  'how come <toot> didn't grow tall anymore?'

me:  'combination of genetics and environment...'

nephew:  'that's her course?'

me:  'haha...  no...  if you'll notice, on grandpa's side, they're tall;  grandma's, short.  she got her height from grandma's side.  that's her genes...'

nephew:  'jeans...  pants?'

me:  'G, E, N, E, S...  genes...  the ones you get from your ancestors...'

nephew:  'gins...  like beer?'

me:  'G, E, N, E, S...  not G, I, N...  didn't you take that up in school?'

nephew:  'we'll have chemistry next year...'

uhm...  i think you take that up in biology...  : }
