I'm just a girl trying to find her own custom groove in this world without bending to the expectations of others.

Custom Order Apples

Across the street from my pediatrician's office is a grocery store called Big Top Market. As if a trip to the supermarket wasn't already a circus, they had to throw in the monkey music and obnoxious red and white stripes.

I took the baby back to the doctor today because he just hasn't been acting like himself and I overheard this statement announced through the store's PA even over the traffic on the busy street.

"Sandy Knocker! Your apples are ready for pick up in produce."

What? Huh? Who special orders apples?

Incidentally, the kid needs breathing treatments three times a day. So now we have a nebulizer.

I was at the grocery one time and the kid at the service desk got on the P.A. and said "Mike Rotch, you have a phone call at the service desk. Mike Rotch." I just happened to be up there and saw that as he hung up teh intercom he realized what he said. He put his hand over his head and turned 13 shades of purple.

Bart Simpson moment. Not teh same as custom order apples, but you made me think of it. Sorry. I'll be quiet now.

Sorry about the nebulizer! I'll save my regular 20 questions for an email. I'm glad you followed your instincts and took him in though.

HUGS ~

Poor kid--that's rough.

Sandy Knocker--How 'bout them apples? Hahahahaha... I think my mind went to the same place as Mike's.

I'm feeling ya on the nebulizer. We've had one since little princess was about 5 months old. It sucks! The good thing is, they are so young, they just get used to it. She was a sick little girl for the better part of her life. She is doing much better now and we haven't used it in a while. Good luck with your little man!

If you haven't paid for the nebulizer yet, call me. We have one rarely used.

Has the Dr. thought about alergies per chance. Eden's "asthma" was actually black mold hidden in the duct work.
Or is it duck wurck?

Awww, poor baby. :-(

When I was a kid, my friends and I would try to get people to page Ben Dover, but they never would.

Maybe they are those wonderful apples we get in KC that are covered in caramel, then this sinful chocolate and nuts. Now THAT would be worth the wait!

My daughter has a nebulizer. She used to have a lot of problems with wheezing when she had a cold. We had to take her to the ER a couple of times and finally got smart and purchased a machine. She rarely uses it now, but when she does need it, and we're way out here in the country, it's awfully nice to have it here to calm her breathing.

Awww... does he have asthma or bronchitis??? I remember when my little guy had pneumonia and had to use the nebulizer. I told him it was "magic smoke" and so he loved it. ;) It makes them shake though.... :(

I thought you were going to make a joke about Sandy Knocker's Apples! Like, knockers/apples= boobs! hahaha, I'm such a guys girl sometimes... sorry. ;)
