eversince he got acquainted with a certain dr mcdreamy (*ahem* MY dr mcdreamy, not the one on GA. heh), my wombat of a nephew would tell us that he's DR AMIR, although sometimes he'd also tell us he wants to be a builder like B-O-B (spells BOB!). so to encourage the little critter, this excited aunty got the little wombat a toy doctor set from toys 'r us. it has a stethoscope, a syringe, a thermometer, a plastic scalpel, scissors, bandage, medicine bottles and even a little plastic tag to prove to everyone that you're indeed a real doctor. heh. cute stuff. dr amir's mother has been telling me that when he plays doctor, he'd "treat" her using a toothbrush, his moisturiser and of all things, telon oil. apparently dr amir believes the telon oil is the mother of all medications. whooooo!

two days ago, when i was on the phone with dr amir, i told him that his favourite doctor uncle is not well (he was down with a flu), and what is he going to do about that. when he heard that (as narrated by his mother) he scampered off to get his doctor set. a few seconds later, a very amusing and thoroughly hilarious conversation ensued between me and him. please take note that this is a real phone conversation.

dr amir: wak intang (that's what he calls me, duh!) please breathe.

dr's mom aka nurse: he has his stethoscope on

me: oh ok (starts to take deep breaths, in and out)

dr amir: not so loud, wak intang!

me: ???

dr amir: wak intang, please open your mouth

me: but doctor, i'm fine, i'm not the one who is sick

dr amir: wak intang, please open your mouth, wak intang

me: *sigh* (opens mouth and says AHHHHHHH)

- silence -

me: errr, doctor? is everything ok? am i alright?

nurse: he's cutting something using his scalpel

me: oooh do i need a surgery then, doctor? what are you cutting?

dr amir: onions!

me: ??????

nurse: LOL!!

me: *sigh* ... okaaayy ... get well soon, onion.

nurse: now he's using the scissors.

me: oooh are you cutting up the bandage for me??

dr amir: i cut wak intang's hair

me: *speechless*

nurse: LOL LOL!!

dr amir: wak intang i give you injection, wak intang

me: ok, what did you inject me with?

dr amir: peanut butter

me: ............

nurse: LOL!! how much, dr?

dr amir: one dollar, fifty cents

geee dr amir, i guess i wasn't really expecting a nice gourmet dinner and a haircut as part of your "treatment". heh. then again, i thought it would be free of charge since i WAS the one who got you that doctor set.

but its ok babes, you can do whatever you like to me, who knows, you might be one helluva fine doctor one day, insya Allah. that is, if you don't turn out to be another unkle jamie oliver/david rocco/bob blumer ... or bob the builder.
