What Is Wrong With You

I am in the doctor’s office
waiting for my husband having his usual checkup
three people are having conversations
with other people using cellphones
you want to see the video of you getting shots when you were one?
He plays the video for her saying “you got a shot here, here and here”
She is about three and begins whining as she watched this video.
Daddy says “What is wrong with you?”
Lady across the aisle is asking “did he wet the bed last night?”
I am amazed that people think it is okay to talk on the phone in public
Maybe it is a way to prevent conversation with strangers
It works for me
