I’d been told we’d have to “wait a very long time” at the doctors so we went armed with a selection of books and POD’s muzzy. I meant to take a spare nappy and wipes but forgot after putting her boots on for the third time. She told the waiting room she’d done a poo as soon as we arrived. She hadn’t.
POD’s reached the stage where she questions everything. Just last week she said “Look Mummy that girl got spots” to a mortified teenager behind the counter.
Our wait at the doctor’s surgery went like this:
“Whatsatt?” A man
“Whatsatt?” A lady
“Whatsatt?” The man again
“He got no trousers on” No, he’s wearing shorts
“Whatsatt?” Another lady
“A baby, a baby!” Yes it’s a baby and his Mummy
“Baby not walking” No the baby’s not walking yet
“Whatsatt?” That’s a girl
“Girl got no skirt on, Mummy where girl skirt?” She is wearing a skirt
“No just tights” She’s wearing a *tiny* skirt and tights
“Chair broken, need another one” The chair’s just a bit wobbly that’s all
“Baby hold chair, wibble wobble, wibble wobble” [shakes nearby chair]. No don’t move the chair, the baby’s holding onto it
“Hairband” Yes the girl has a hairband
“Girl not have skirt on” Yes she does she’s wearing a skirt and tights
“No skirt. Boots, girl has boots” That’s right she’s wearing boots. We’re wearing boots too
“Lady not have boots on” No that lady is not wearing boots, she’s wearing sandals
The hilarity of the waiting room came to an abrupt stop when POD’s name was called. Impeccable timing by the doctor. How do you explain to a toddler that two adults are dressed for summer when it’s -2 degrees outside?

Hilarious! She reminds me SO much of my Miss S who’s 2 1/2 – constant questions of “who’s that?” “what’s he doing?” etc… you really have to hold your breathe sometimes – especially in the doctor’s waiting room! x
Sounds like you have the same with Miss S! It’s great until she won’t let go of something, like the girl’s extremely short skirt 🙂
Oh my word my mind is boggling just reading that – and you have to converse with her all day!!? Does she fancy a job keeping my two chatting? 😉 Thanks so much for joining in x
Nah, she’s in nursery while I’m working. Thankfully she’s not this chatty all the time 🙂
Hahaa ohh she’s very cute and obviously ultra observant. My z is always too busy darting around or climbing everything to notice things like that. He has started to announce “I did wee wee!” to absolutely anyone though (he hasn’t!)
Ha ha don’t be fooled, POD was a climber too! We had to stop that after she tried to dive off the table. Bless them 🙂
Very good, lovely post, especially enjoyed the skirt bit! I read earlier the average 4 year old asks 437 questions a day scary! Looks like you didn’t need those books after all!
Thank you very much, girl wearing shortest skirt on the planet didn’t help. Amusing looking back on it 🙂
Sounds as though POD was a lot wiser than some grown-ups in your waiting room!
I think you’re probably right there Nell 🙂
