(One night, I go with my mom to the store to get a few things. My mom has arthritis and is wearing a wrist brace at the time. As we are putting the groceries into the backseat of the car, another car pulls into the spot behind us. Two girls get out and approach us.)
Girl: Excuse me, but we couldn’t help but notice your wrist brace. We believe in the divine and supernatural healing power of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May we pray for you?
(Mom and I are a bit shocked, but we allow it. We ourselves are Christians.)
Girl: (the second she is done praying) Do you feel anything?
Mom: Um, it’s still in the brace, so no.
Girl: You don’t feel anything at all?

Mom: I’m surprised they didn’t notice my knee brace.
(Once we are home, Mom starts to tell Dad about what happened.)
Mom: You know what? My knee doesn’t hurt.
Me: Really? But what about your wrist?
Mom: (takes off brace) That too.
