We went to the doctor recently. She’s our favorite! An orthodox Jew who practices in Park Slope, she is no-nonsense but still fun. Kind of like I imagine Nancy Pelosi would be if she were your doctor.
Anyway, everything went fine. Elliot started out quiet --- he’d seen her 6 months earlier and was trying to place her face. By the end he had warmed up a lot, was smiling at her and saying a few words here and there.
As she departed, Dr. K said “Bye-bye. Can you say bye, bubby?”
And Elliot said, clear as day, “Bye Bubby.”
