OMG, Oddie and Mildred, your stories had me in stitches today. It's really fun recalling all those funny moments. Ahlavit!!! What's even funnier is that you are now Mrs. Espiritu Jr., Mildred. Who'd have thunk? ...
Okay, here's a funny story from college that I have told people many times and never fails to elicit belly laughs. We were on rotation at the fourth floor in St. Luke's one evening --- I believe that's where they put the charity patients at that time --- and one of the Herrera twins was assigned to perform a douche on a patient. So, prior to the procedure, the rest of us, student nurses, gather around the pt's bedside to observe. Ms. Gigi Ferrer, mutters in a low voice and with a poker face to Tess or Cecile (can't remember which one of the twins), "What are you supposed to tell the patient before the douche?" The twin remembers that patients are supposed to be informed of what you are about to do to them each time a procedure is done so she immediately starts to explain, "Mrs. ____, ihahanda ko lang po kayo dahil ang gagawin po namin ay huhugasan ang inyong... (she hesitates while she thinks of the right word)...huhugasan namin ang inyong......ang inyo pong......(impishly lifts her shoulders and covers her lips with her fingers and says with a subtle giggle)... "flower"... hahahaha!!!!!!! There we all were. struggling to keep a straight face the entire time the douche was being performed...including Gigi Ferrer!!!!!! ...hahahaha....it still makes me laugh every time!!!! Hahahaha.......
