Unfiltered Story #32831
As a child, if someone told me I was wrong about a conclusion I’d reached myself without telling me WHY it was wrong, I just assumed I was still right. This lead to a few conversations like the following exchange with the school nurse.
Me: “My belly hurts.”
Nurse: “You mean your stomach?”
Me: “No, my belly.”
Nurse: “…Why don’t you show me where it hurts?”
I lift my shirt partway and point.
Nurse: “So, your stomach.”
Me: “NO. My stomach is on the inside, and I hurt on the OUTSIDE.”
Nurse: “Your stomach hurts.”
Apparently it never occurred to her to tell me outright that it’s called my stomach anyway, so instead she kept repeating something she’d just learned I didn’t believe.
