Last week I was at my annual doctor’s appointment when I heard the doctor in the hallway knock on the door. Thinking to myself, why do they knock if they usually just knock and then barge in? Do patients actually reply, “I’m busy, come back later.”

So I decided to not answer when he knocked and the most amazing thing occurred! He knocked agan!

Knowing I had to pick up at preschool within the hour, I decided to answer, “Come in…” as if waiting for my morning paper and coffee.

Thankfully, the doctor also had plans to be fast.
