Dr. McBuffy!!!

Ok, so the Ocho took a much belated trip to see her internist today to discuss getting an actual prescription for her inhalers rather than depending on her pediatrician continuing to be her dealer from Tucson. So, the doctor starts to ask questions about what kind of activities set off her asthma and HP08 tells him that it's just when she runs and usually only at this time of year because of allergies. He asked what kind of running she was doing and HP08 casually said "well, I've been doing triathlon relays" feeling very cool and tough. The Doctor than says "Oh, that's great! Triathlons are great. I do triathlons too. This year I'm doing TWO IRON MANS!!!" (Caps and "!!!"s added by the Ocho for emphasis.) Who does TWO IRON MANS in one year let alone one lifetime?!? The Ocho responded with something lame like "Wow, really? Wow. Well I only do the run of the triathlons. I don't do the whole thing... But it's, um, fun and I have friends and um, wow, two iron mans, huh?" He then gave her new inhalers, a referral to get her foot looked at and some new allergy meds. As they shook hands goodbye Dr. McBuffy said "good luck with the triathlons" and the Ocho is pretty sure that she heard herself say something like "thanks, yeah, and um right, you with the two iron mans...wow...two iron mans..."
