Lobatomized tuitition?

Are nursing programs now accepting brain cells in lieu of U.S. dollars?

Last May my Grandmother was in the hospital because of a heart attack scare.

This nurse mistook my Uncle for my grandfather and me as their son.... She was 88 at the time, I a quarter of her age. It was clear she actually assumed that was the case too... I bit my lip for two reasons, to keep myself from laughing, or suggesting that the nurse get herself admitted, to the psych ward... Granted I had a full beard at the time but still....

Oh, it is not just nurses. When I was 12, I was at Costco with my family. My 6 year old sister wanted a free sample being handed out, so I walked her over to the table. When she asked for one, the lady said, "Well, ask your mommy" indicating me.

...Or maybe I just look really old...
