We were discussing the power ball and how someone is about to become a very rich person. We all started talking about what we would do with the winnings and I jokingly said that if I won, I would pay the other therapists to hide the "torture stick" or just buy a new ankle and not have to endure his wrath!
An elderly lady came in after me and we all began talking and she said to my therapist "tu shay" and my therapist said "by the way, does anyone know how to spell that word, I've never seen it spelled". And I said, "well yes, as a matter of fact I do because I just spelled it the other day (in my recent blog post) and my mother was ever so thoughtful to point out I spelled it incorrectly! But really, how many of you even caught that because aren't there some words that should just be spelled like they sound?? And then those words you say, but never have to spell? And, if you're wondering, it is correctly spelled "touche". And then the lady went on about how surprised she was that someone "as young as me" uses that word! And while I'm on the subject of age, the receptionist noticed that she and I were born in the same year and said "but I have grown children and you still have a young one to raise" which I translated to "you're an old mom".
So maybe if I win that power ball, I could pay to look younger? To be perfectly honest, I said "winning the power ball would never happen to me so I will just stay happy with what I have". I mean can you imagine not being happy and fulfilled with this..............
