Dr. Yali

I walked into my room that afternoon to find my bed transformed into a temporary clinic, Drs. Yali and Patience presiding…

 

“Okay, guys. Everyone out.”

“But, Mom! This is a DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT!”

“Well, the location of the hospital has been moved.”

“But, MOM! It says Cardinal Gle-mmon!”

“It does, huh?”

“Here, here’s the patient.” Yali pointed to a stuffed baby lion wrapped in one of my hand towels. “What’s your last name?… Glemmon? No, that’s silly. Is it Macowski? It IS? Mom, look! A new boy is BORN!”
