On Barbara the student nurse

 I had a student nurse assigned to me this afternoon. During the introduction, I found out her name was Barbara. I commented: “Would you believe me if I said both my grandmothers were named Barbara?” This elicited a laugh and she said something like “I’ll be your grandma for today.”

She came in a various times using variations on that theme. One time, I said, “Well, if you are my granny, my bear needs attention,” pointing to Pooh Bear who needs a switch or two. I then made the mistake of explaining his origins, as it caused me to cry.

Shall I bring a needle and thread on Wednesday? Colour?
