Wife Is Helping Husband At the Docs

Wife is helping her husband fill out the forms for labs.
It says doctor’s name she tells him.
I can read! He snaps.
So put it down, she says.
I don’t know the doctor’s name.
Davis, says she.
Then she leans in closer.
Put no there. Put yes there, check that box. Your blood type is B.
Where do I put that? He asks.
I feel sorry for his wife who has now also become his mother.
