Rephrasing It
“Went to hospital with dad for tube up bum. Love, Mum.” How would you react if you received this message scrawled on notebook paper when you had just woken up in the morning? At least it’s not a tub up the bum. Then we’d have an avalanche of questions. So many queries.
We hope dad was okay following this procedure. It’s a pretty common procedure. Nothing out of the ordinary. This probably occurred prior to cellphones occupying every corner of society. Or maybe mom just isn’t the texting type. Like many moms out there, she’s old-fashioned. Thus, leaving a note was the only available option. And what a message she left.
