Tuesday Night:

MOM: Can you take me to my doctor’s appointment on Wednesday?

ME: Sure, but which doctor?

MOM: My general physician.

ME: I have a note on my calendar that says your appointment is on March 8th, can you call them to confirm that you have an appointment tomorrow?

MOM: I have a card that says I have an appointment on January 18th.

ME: Okay, I will take you.

(Two hours later another phone call from mom…)

MOM: Did you make me a hair appointment for today?

ME: No, did you?

MOM: No, but they just called me to tell me that the girl would not be in for my appointment.

ME: Maybe you made the appointment before Christmas?

MOM: No, I did not make an appointment.

ME: Okay, did they reschedule the appointment?

MOM: No.

(I pick her up for her doctor’s appointment the next morning.)

ME: Good morning!

MOM: Not really…I need a haircut.

ME: I will make you an appointment.

MOM: Okay, that would be great.

(We arrive at the doctor’s office, and mom goes up to the counter to sign in. She comes toward me with a funny smirk on her face.)

MOM: They say that I don’t have an appointment until March 8th.

ME: Yeah, that is what I thought.

MOM: But I had a card.

ME: No problem…want to go to breakfast?

MOM: Sure.

(Patience is a virtue that the Lord is blessing me with little by little…)
