don't get confused

so i have this client, right? and she has some medical issues, seizures among them.

so she told me the other day that after she has them, medical personnel will ask her questions to make sure she is not confused, cuz that happens.

so they usually ask questions like, "what day is it?" and "do you know where you are?" and " who is our current president of the united states?"

so they asked her most recently the president one. and she wanted to let them know how "with it" she was so she tried to include his middle name... and she ended up saying "osama bin laden"

... oops! she corrected herself but they were totally giving her the stink-eye after that... :)

i laughed pretty hard when she told me this story! :)

That is pretty cute. I have had that on the tip of my tongue more than once. Unfortunate that Mr. Obama's middle name is Hussein as that sort of blurs the subject.
