Father of the Year...

I got a notice on my Gmail Calendar yesterday that Braeden had a Dr.s Appointment at 11 am. I knew nothing about it so I emailed Heather and she replied that she didn't know about one either and that the next appointment she had down was on May 28th at 11 am. I decided to call the Pediatrician's office. Here is a transcript of that call:

Nurse: Priority Care Pediatrics, how can I help you?

Me: Hello, I've got an appointment today and I can't make it.

Nurse: What's your child's name?

Me: Braeden Carlton

Nurse: [Long pause] - Sir, I don't have anything down for Braeden.

Me: Ok, I must have written it down wrong, the next appointment is on the 28th of May right?

Nurse: [Long pause] - Um... no the next appointment I have is June 7th.

Me: Huh, the 7th? Are you sure it's not May 28th?

Nurse: I'm sure sir. I have a note here that a nurse called you a week ago and asked you if they could re-schedule the appointment for June 7th because the Dr. is out on May 28th. [Her voice now changed to a parent / child voice] - Do you remember that conversation sir?

Me: Um... kind of. [I look forward in my calendar and see an appointment set up for June 7th.] - Yeah, I remember it now.

Nurse: Ok sir, so your appointment is on June 7th at 3:30. Is that day and time still alright with you?

Me: [Tough guy voice] - Yes, it's fine.

Nurse: [Now a Grandma / grandchild voice] - Do you want to go ahead and write that down so you don't forget?

Me: [Long pause] - yes... thank you...

I'm still not sure where the May 11th appointment came from, but at this point I'm not surprised that it's in there.

Rob, Heather and Braeden Carlton
