Ignorance is bliss
So I was having lunch with a friend of mine, and the topic was his young son. Now, I understand that most new parents constantly worry about their children's health, but apparently it's much, much worse if your wife is a doctor.
Me: So how's the kid?
Friend: He's been having a digestive problem and we've got to take him to a specialist.
Me: That's too bad, but stuff like this happens all the time, I'm sure he'll be fine.
Friend: That's what I thought, but the wife is worried and that gets me worried. After all, she's a doctor, right? Plus, she tells me about all of the possible complications that can develop. Trust me, this is not stuff you want to risk.
Me: Yeah? Have you tried telling him to "walk it off"? You know, it's never too early to start toughening them up.
Clearly I don't have children.
Since we're on the topic, let me share with you...
