PART OF THE FAMILY

SCENE: Veterinarian’s office …

CUSTOMER: Why do you have my dog’s name before my last name on the check-in sheet?

ME: That’s so we know who it belongs to.

CUSTOMER: It sounds like I’m married to my dog!

ME: It’s more that we’re trying to say that you’re the pet’s parent.

CUSTOMER: Are you saying I gave birth to a dog?

ME: Sorry, the computer prints it this way.

CUSTOMER: Then black out the name so nobody thinks I’m married to him!
