A circumcision tale from way back when my daughter was learning medicine.

Am really very tired this morning. Had my second dose of vaccine yesterday and today, I attended to the yard work. But I was reminded of this story which made me laugh. Not palatable but nevertheless a happy one. So I thought I'd share before I slip into slumber. My elder daughter came home one night hungry. She sat down on the counter table and started eating sinigang na bangus (milkfish in sour broth). Thought I'd update her and said her sister performed six circumcision. On the first circumcision, Doc Tan, the supervisor in the medical mission asked her sister "Where's the P?" Her sister asked what P? Doc Tan smiled and said it's the personal inscription, on first circumcision. We had a good laugh. Then my younger daughter joined us in the counter and narrated in detail the circumcision - the skin, the spurt of blood, etcetera, that made her big sister stop eating Ugggh, the elder daughter almost vomited. Gosh, the younger one exclaimed, that's only a description, you know not the smell and you're vomiting! My daughters, never a dull day! A good memory from way back. I miss those days.....
