- In the same vein, we (briefly) had a pediatrician who, while examining the
- baby, said to my husband, "Please take your other son out of the room so I can
- talk to your wife." That was the last visit to that doctor! (Our current
- pediatrician seems to actually prefer my husband to bring the children, since
- they have a lot in common.)
