In a journal titled "This Could Only Happen To Me" I will post the following entry...
Yesterday I called my doctor for a referral. We were both of the opinion that I should see a specialist because of past issues.
When she mentions the doctor's name, I have a small chuckle to myself because surely I've heard it incorrectly... I proceed on because really ... who can be sure of anything with 3 kids in the background who insist on screaming or fighting the moment I pick up the phone ... and they fight about the stupidest things. This time it's about a puzzle ... like there's not a gazillion of those in the house. Why can't they fight about something of substance? For instance ... they could fight about why a certain someone can't seem to get the wet, dirty towels, IN TO the laundry basket instead of on the floor beside it...
Where was I ? Oh yes ... the doctors name
After she gives me the phone number, I hang up and call the new doctor ...
"Hello, Mid Cities Obstetrics and Gynecology" says the nice voice, "May I help you?".
"Hello, Mid Cities Obstetrics and Gynecology" says the nice voice, "May I help you?".
"Yes, I'd like to make an appointment",
The pleasant woman proceeds to make my appointment and get all the particulars. At the end of the call I say,
"Would you please give me the spelling of the doctors name?"

There was a slight pause before she says ....
"L.i.c.k.e.r."
I'm sorry, I know it's juvenile, but there is no way on earth that I could keep a straight face during that appointment. I'll be calling to cancel today.

Heehee..
I am SO happy to have you back.
I'm just as immature...
I am there with you. I think it makes us good moms that we can relate to puerile humor!
I am glad you are back in the blogosphere too! Poor woman, I wonder was she born with that name or married into it?!?
Just ... wow. Of course, my best friend dated a guy whose last name was Seamon. And my hubby's best friend's last name? Seaman.
A friend of mine knew an ob/gyn named Harry Beaver.
You're better than I, I wouldn't even had been able to make the appointment! LICKER. Really??
paging Dr. Licker - Oh No!!!
It would be unnerving.
You actually were nicer then I would be!!

I am running a little late for the 40 and over Friday Follow but better late than never right. I am now following you and hope you will come see me at http://traci66.blogspot.com
Dr Licker?? Are you serious?? OMG, that's probably why he decided to be an ob/gyn in the first place...how could you not with a name like that?
It's kinda like the pediatric dentist here in town who's name is Dr Fang. The kids think it's hilarious!
Oh my. With a name like that, he should have been an oncologist or anesthesiologist or something. Anything.
HAHAHAHAHAAHA!
Guess we all are thinking that way. Paging Dr. Licker, you are needed in maternity ~ STAT.
Oh my, I am laughing SO hard! I don't think I could keep that appointment either. I'm your newest follower from the Over 40's blogger group. :)
Looking forward to getting to know you.

LOL! I am sorry to be juvenile too, but I would have been giggling my butt off!
(Would you believe the local urologist's name is Dr. Peckler??)
So did you cancel?
LOL! I don't blame you; I would have cancelled also.
