A Visit to the Doctor
C: Let's play. I am Dr. Cinderella. You are my patient.
Me: Okay.
C: You go over here and wait.
She leads me to a chair in the dining room, then leaves me sitting there. Waiting.
C: (emerges with a piece of paper in hand, looks down at it,) Georgia O'Keefe?
Me: Is that me?
C: (whispers) Yes, you are supposed to stand up. Let's start over.
She leaves, and I'm left for an even longer time, waiting.
C: (re-enters) Georgia O'Keefe?
She looks around the room searchingly, as though it's filled with many potential Georgia O'Keefe's.
Me: (standing) I am Georgia.
C: (smiles in recognition) Follow me please, Georgia.
Dr. Cinderella performs an examination.
Turns out that stomach ache I'd been experiencing?
Just a bladder full of urine.
Me: Okay.
