Slice of Life: Day 2-- "Mouse/Bug Traps in the Doctor's Office??"

This month I am participating in the Slice of Life challenge sponsored by the Two Writing Teachers website and blog. Join me!

You read that right. Today I was alone in an appointment room waiting for 45 minutes, giving me lots of time to "take in the scenery", so to speak.

**Bonus: I now consider myself somewhat of an expert on the poster versions of the nervous and digestive systems, as well as hand washing, flu prevention, and other useful doctor-y things. Ask away, if you have questions. ;) **

As I, well, counted ceiling tiles waiting and waiting, I noticed something in the corner: a little cardboard box that I thought was only reserved for catching and torturing mice. BUT, it was small-ish, so maybe it was for bugs? I don't know. It felt awkward to ask that clarifying question when the doctor finally came in. He was really nice.

So now I'm left wondering: Did I pick up any bugs at the doctor's office today?

Not the virus kind, the creepy kind. Or mice?

It's a question that will probably remain unanswered for me.

Some things are just too awkward to ask, and honestly, do I really want to know the answer?

Nope. Nope, I don't.
