What not to say when you're at the doctors....

"If you're still not feeling better in two weeks, come back." my doctor said as we were heading out of the exam room.

"If I'm not better in two weeks, I'm going to shoot myself." I sarcastically reply, not thinking anything of it until I felt her small little hand on my shoulder and she said:

"Don't say that in a doctor's office, Laura."

I kind of laughed and then headed out but stopped in the bathroom on my way out.  When I came out of the bathroom, I got the, "Can you come here for a minute Laura?"

So, under the pretense of telling me my blood pressure is a little high (it never is, so it must be the flu...) she asks me, "You didn't really mean that you would shoot yourself, did you?"

Laughing ever so little, I said, "No, of course not.  I was just being a smart ass."

"You don't have guns at home do you?"

What?  Guns at home?  In my whole life, I never ever seen a gun.  Ever.  Well, except for the ones on tv - which probably aren't real anyway.  I've never even had a squirt gun.

"Uh, no."

"As your doctor, I have to ask.  It's kind of like when a kid tells his teacher that his dad will kill him if he brings home a bad mark."

Ahh, liability -  not believability.  "No, I wasn't serious.  I'm a little frustrated because I haven't exercised in a while - I've only been able to do some stretching."

"Don't say that in a doctors office."

"Got it.  Promise, never again."

Is it wrong that I found the whole thing really funny??
