funny moment at work

[robinsnest]

 On Sunday I was at work sitting with my FAVORITE kid R doing his respiratory treatments. He's frankly a medical miracle that he's alive. very complicated medical history but basically was born with most of his organs on the outside, just has a skin graft covering his heart so he has to wear a plastic shell that makes him look like a little pregnant lady. He's also autistic so his communication isn't perfect but he's SO smart and so eager and I love him to bits Anyway you have to sit with him during his respiratory treatments because otherwise he'll just unhook himself and wander away. So he and I sat there and played Angry birds and I thought of koshka_the_cat  and suddenly realized his roommate J's mom had left a book on tape running for J when she left..it was The Force Awakens. I chuckled to myself and thought of jenthompson  and how different my costuming life was from my real life and yet they intersect. :-) it was a nice little moment.

That is funny and nice! I have times like that too, where I'll see something and think of one of my costuming friends and want to tell them about it, but they live a million miles away. Also, WOW that really is a medical marvel!

It was such a funny dichotomy sitting in my scrubs with a wacky child.

You are a hero. No really.

nah I consider myself super lucky to get to work with my amazing batch of kids. They inspire me every day.

Awww! I'm happy I was included in your little moment of costume/daily life intersection! I think about you guys all the time too! :)

I'll have you know, last I checked, I was number one in my Angry Birds league. Embarrassingly, I'm only in the diamond 3 league. I'm usually in diamond 5...
