I keep getting phone calls for “the doctor.” In fact, 99.9% of the time my work phone rings, it’s someone asking for the doctor.
Strangely enough, I got a few calls today on my cellphone for people ALSO seeking “the doctor.”
It’s perplexing, really. Is it a Doctor Who thing? Is it a drug dealer thing? Or is it a legitimate medical emergency? Should I urge them to dial 911 instead of being so flippant by retorting “the doctor isn’t in”?
There is a time and place for jokes, of course. This is the right time, and certainly the right place.

When you figure out the magic formula for a 3-year-old’s bedtime routine, it’s like:

Or in the morning, when it’s time to get dressed for school, and she is frustrated with her shoe selection because she doesn’t want to wear sneakers, NO WAY, she wants to wear something like this …
So you are forced to put your foot down and give her valuable life advice, like:
You can’t fight every battle because you have battles of your own.
When you realize laundry day is tomorrow and you are working with a limited selection, it’s like:
When, in your haste to pack your kid’s lunch, you realize you forgot to pack your own, it’s like:
When you are in the zone at work, and everyone all of a sudden demands your attention, it’s like:
When you’re trying to frankenstein a recipe because you’re missing one or more ingredients, it’s like:
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
