Nurse’s aide:
“Can I help you?”
Daughter:
“Yeah… can I have a stapler?”
(The nurse’s aide walks about two steps away to get a stapler and then thinks better of this request.)
Nurse’s aide:
“Why do you want a stapler?”
Daughter:
“My dad’s IV tubing is getting in his way. I thought it would be better if we stapled it to his arm.”
Nurse’s aide:
“Um, I think tape would work better for that.”
Daughter:
“You guys have tape here?”
Nurse’s aide:
“Yeah, I have some here in my pocket.”
(The aide walks into the room to secure the IV tubing before any more of his genius children try to help.)
Daughter:
*muttering* “I still think a stapler is a better idea…”
