As he dangled her back socks to her, "Here put these on. Knock knock." "Who's there?" Susan reflexly answered while getting her feet back in sneakers. "Egg." "Engg who?" "Egg going to keep you here much longer." Mrs. Hallam couldn't repress a neck stretching grimace response to a poor joke as Susan was instructing how knock knock jokes are supposed to be done.

Susan dumbed momentarily as the doctor lifted her shirt and made four lightening quick strokes around her navel, then backed up and shrugged, "Nope. I guess you're right." Susan was whispering, "Monmy. He's weirnd," as the doctor tapped Mrs. Hallam on the back of her shoulder, following her toward the door, "She gags a lot?"
