The boy has issues

There may be something wrong with the boy’s foot. I mean, other than it’s flat and a size 15. He’s had a pain in it for a couple of days. There’s no apparent injury so we’re puzzled and keeping an eye on it. He’s been obsessing, as he’s wont to do (wonder where he gets that?).

The boy: So this guy at school has the exact same thing with his foot.

Me: Oh yeah?

The boy: Yeah, and he went to the doctor and had X-rays and mammograms on it.

Me: Mammograms, huh?

The boy: Yeah.

Me: You know that’s not the right word, right? Because if you have a boob growing out of your foot, then we’ve really got something to worry about.

    Actually, such a thing has happened.

    Even more alarming is the fact that I know that, right off the top of my head.

    Oh Waldo! That’s so freaky. I can’t even tell the boy. Let’s hope the pain goes away fast!
