Some brand new medical jargon

May 10, 2010 15:20

From a telephone conversation I just had with B1:

Me: That's not an anagram.
B1: Mammogram? What?
Me: No, anagram. I said it wasn't an anagram.
B1: "Mammogram" is so cute! It could be called a mommy-gram!
Me: What?
B1: Because it shows the baby in the mommy's tummy! It could be called a mommy-gram!
Me: That's not a mammogram. A mammogram is to check for breast cancer.
B1: Oh.
Me: An ultrasound is the x-ray that shows the baby in the mommy's tummy. That could be called a mommy-gram.
B1: Or a baby-gram!

FIVE DAYS UNTIL HE COMES HOME. I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THAT LONG.
