Just Put Down Ttt
She is a liar! I scream.
The nurse tries her best to shush me.
FAKE NEWS! I holler, biting her on the arm.
I cannot stop shrieking now. I am damned mad.
I see her write something down on a tablet.
“What did you write?”
She refuses to show me.
I chase her past closed doors.
The doctor comes out.
“I told you to stop weighing her,” he tells his staff.
Just put down TTT
The only reason he is alive today is because
it took me a week to find out from my nurse sister
that TTT means Two Ton Tilly
