Ear We Go

It appears my sister recently had an interesting phone call with my Dad. Last week we finally got him to the doctors to have his ears syringed and they gave him his flu jab at the same time.

Sis phoned him in the evening and later relayed the conversation to me.

'Hello, it's Penny.'

'Huh?'

'IT'S PENNY.'

'Oh, hello Penny.'

'I hear you had your flu jab today?'

'Huh?'

'I HEAR YOU HAD YOUR FLU JAB TODAY.'

'Oh yes. Had my ears syringed too.'

'Yes. Was it painful?'

'Huh?'

'I SAID WAS IT PAINFUL?'

'Not too bad, but I'm glad it's done.'

'Yes, you'll be able to get your hearing aid test now then.'

'Huh?'

'YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET YOUR HEARING AID TEST NOW.'

'Oh, I don't know whether to bother now. I can hear much better now the wax has gone.'

'Oh, I think you should Dad.'

'Huh?'

Sis and I are thinking of looking for megaphones on ebay to save the wear and tear on our voices.
