Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Doctor Who?

I had to take Sam and Vivian to my own doctor's appointment today at the last minute.  In the car, Sam asked me, "What is the doctor called?"
"Huh?"
"What's the doctor called?"
"His name?"
"Yes."
"Dr. Rohrer."
Pause.
Sam asks, "what does he talk like?"
"What does he talk like?  You mean how does he speak?"
"Yes."
"Like a regular person."
Pause.
"In a very loud voice?"
"No.  A regular voice."
"Is he a nice guy?"
"Yes, he's a nice doctor who is helpful."
"And he talks in a not loud voice."
"Right."
I wasn't following the conversation entirely so I just let it go.
When we were in the waiting room, Sam asked, "what's taking Dr. Lion so long?"
"Dr. Lion?  His name's Doctor Rohrer." (Pronounced "roar.").  I tried so hard not to laugh that I started tearing up.  He must have thought we were visiting a lion the whole way there, who roared instead of talked.
