      Working for a pediatrician calls for stifling a chuckle from time to
   time. When a frantic mother phoned to tell us her baby had a temperature
   of 102, we had to know whether she was taking the reading under the arm,
   in the mouth or elsewhere. So we asked, "How are you taking it?" Her
   reply: "Oh, I'm holding up pretty well!"

      An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her
   then 4 year old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left
   her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and
   began playing with it. 'Be still, my heart', thought my friend, 'my
   daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!' Then the child spoke into the
   instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"
