In stitches

Scene I:
[Telephone rings]
Miguel: Hello?
Alpha: Beta maxed out the aptitude tests she took today at that counseling thing.
Miguel: Of course.
Alpha: The psychologist said she could…
Miguel: Do whatever she chooses.
Alpha: She could be a brain surgeon. Medical aptitude, among other things. Very well-rounded.
Miguel: Cool, she can remove the stitches from my shoulder. They’re scheduled to come out today.

Scene II:
[Miguel sits on edge of tub with shirt off. 13-year old girl stands beside him with tweezers and small scissors]
Beta: Sure I’m not hurting you?
Miguel: No, no. Can’t feel a thing.

  1. Maybe Beta can get my web host to answer broken-weblog-requests-for-support email. I sure can’t.

    Yeah, I’d noticed your blog was having troubles. Beta’s sleeping over at a friend’s tonight, but I’ll put her on it as soon as she gets home tomorrow.

  3. Beta is far braver than I am. just the idea of doing such a thing myself gives me the heebie jeebies.

  4. Awww!
    I bet she did a very good job.

    She doesn’t seem to be as susceptible to the heebie jeebies as I was at her age.
