Just One More Inch

My mom screams, “Take it out, take it out.”

The doctor says, “Just one more inch?  I need to go in one more inch.”

“Fine, one more inch.”

The doctor suggests, “Shall I put on some music?”  He begins to play the music of his people.  To my mother this sounds like whining children begging for more cookie dough.

“Your glasses do not work,” the doctor said. “I’m going to put this cloth over your face.”

“Just one more inch,” my mother says.

After all this, the doctor was able to get a succesful reading from her MRI.

This is how my mother told the story.  Not once did she recognize how funny it actually is.  For all I knew, my mother was describing how she was raped by her Indian doctor.

“Just one more inch” - priceless!
