Overheard in the Doctor's Office Waiting Room

TEENAGE GUY is called back by NURSE; he walks to the door, and they have the following exchange. Note: Despite the amazing similarities in speaking style, this guy was not my brother.


N: Have you been fasting?

TG: Yeah, yeah. Uh, I had some Mountain Dew at 7:30 this morning. Is that cool?

N: You had...Mountain Dew at 7:30 this morning?

TG: Yeah. That cool?

N: You were supposed to be fasting.

TG: It's a liquid, though. Liquids are okay, right?

N: Not Mountain Dew.

TG: Well, it was only a teeeeny tiny bit of Mountain Dew. Like, not even twelve ounces.
