Case in point: when I was about five years old, my parents bought me a Cabbage Patch tape recorder. I loved it. I carried it everywhere. Whenever relatives or company came over, I would proudly show off my little tape recorder. Everyone would tell me it's cute and that would be it. No one realized that it actually worked. It wasn't until I would play back their entire conversation that everyone took notice. I used to follow my mom around and record her. Sometimes at dinner, I would randomly play conversations from weeks ago. My dad used to get a kick out of it but it irritated my mom - which, of course, made me want to do it all the more. Another case in point: when I was little, I wanted to be a doctor. My parents even got me a toy doctor kit. I loved it. I almost always had the plastic stethoscope around my neck. Listening to anything and everything. The kit had other stuff too. A thermometer, which I always tried to shove in someone's mouth (I was never successful). A syringe, which I poked everyone with. A relax mallet, which I hit everyone with. Tweezers, pill bottle, and an ear scope. I had roll of bandages but I only used that when I was "seeing a patient." My patients were either: my mom, my dad, my baby brother (against his will), or my dolls. Whenever I had my parents as patients, I charged them. I gave them a check up, then they had to wait around while I drew up the bill. When I first started playing doctor, I charged ten cents. Eventually my rates went up because I felt I had become more experienced so I charged 35 cents. My kit was nice and all but I had seen glipses of hospital shows like "St. Elsewhere" and decided I needed better tools like they had. One day I went into the kitchen and grabbed a plastic knife. I put it in my kit and it became my scalpel. ~~Image #401445 Sharing Restricted~~
