More Than Average

“Ken, will you take dad for the Institute’s admission physical?”

“You sure Sis? He loves his house.”

“He’s 92. Want to find him dead on the floor?”

“Hello, my father needs to see Dr. Bruce.”

“Sorry, Bruce retired twenty years ago. Your father has not been here since. We’ll assign a doc.”

“Dad, you’re seeing Dr. Kumar. Let’s do her forms. What pills do you take? None?”

Dr. Kumar reported: “Your amazing, sharp father is very healthy. Why is he moving?”

“To make us happy.”

Dad lasted eleven months at the Institute. About average. The only thing average about him.
