Tillie's medical skills are quite prodigious

Let me tell you about my grandkids. -EW

By Granddad
as written from Tillie's father story

Four year old Tillie came in the other day excited about a health crisis a friend had had.

"She was V-E-R-Y, V-E-R-Y sick," Tillie said. "She had to leave the room very quick!

"What did she have?" her parents asked, and Tillie responded, "I told you! She was very sick! She had to leave the room really fast!"



Her parents pressed, wondering what the teacher had called the disease, and Tillie remembered. "It was One-dida-didabetes! She had to leave very quick. She was very sick!" On further questioning, Tillie's parents assumed that Tillie's friend may have been suffering from what little kids sometimes are wont to call "dire rear."

That's bad, but maybe not so V-E-R-Y, V-E-R-Y bad as the other disease which came to mind.

Whatever. Still, the signals of a very promising future in healthcare didn't escape Tillie's grandparents.

Linda and I thinking maybe Johns Hopkins, right now. Of course, we're not ones to bragg about our grandkids. That would be boastful, though we will tell you about them every once in awhile, under ultimately awesome pressure.

And we love to hear about yours. - EW
