At the Doctor's Office

Nurse Rhonda (who answers my ridiculous, sometimes paranoid questions without ever laughing in my face and who insists on hugs from the kids before, after and during every visit - I adore this woman) is chatting with Roxi while Gib bravely endures a flu shot.

Rhonda, pointing to a chart of the skeletal system on the wall: Roxi, what is this?
Roxi: That's a femur!
Rhonda, looking at me somewhat surprised: I was expecting "knee."
Roxi: And there's the rib cage and the lumbar vertebrae!
