"Hospical"

This post was started 2-3 years ago and somehow never published.

Overheard today while they were playing:
Michael: "Amy, can you all the next patient, please?"
Amy: "OK, but first I need to know if we only see broken bones in this office."
Michael: "We only see broken bones."
Amy: "Oh, OK. Where should we send the other patients?"
Michael: "To another office or the 'hospical.'"
Amy: "OK, well then you should call the patient back."
Michael: "See-wah Nelson to the main window." Long pause. "Oh, she has all her TEETH broken so we will have to take her to the hospital."
Amy: "Oh no! We only see broken bones here."
Michael: "WOOoo, WOOoo, WOOoo," as he runs violently around the kitchen table. "I'm driving her to the 'hospical.' WOOoo, WOOoo, WOOoo!"
Amy: "She's at the hospital, now. So call the next patient back. Pretend it's me and my name is 'Rosa.'"
Michael: "But YOU are the doctor!"
Amy: "Well I can be both. I'm the doctor but I'm also sick and you have to call me Rosa."
Michael: "Oh, OK. ... Rosa Nelson, come to the window."
Amy walks slowly to the center of the living room.
Michael: "What is the problem?"
Amy: "My foot hurts."
Michael: "Ooh. Well, we will have to give you a SHOT and it will make your foot all better.

And so the game continued. I guess when you have two parents for a doctor, it's difficult to think of anything else to play.
