White Christmas 2008: V

Co-pay or No-pay?
Just last week Ella’s pediatrician offered to phone in a prescription but needed her exact weight to set the dosage. While debating the meaning of ‘exact’ over a beer at Johnny’s Pizza and lamenting yet another co-pay just to weigh a 3-year-old, Kristin suddenly set down her (now 2nd) beer, swept up Ella and hurried out of Johnny’s - leaving the rest of us wondering what had just happened. Before our confused expressions had faded, she returned and announced that Ella was 29 and one-half pounds. Apparently, if you are ever in a rush to have someone small weighed, the UPS Store right next to Johnny’s in East Cobb will be more than happy to help - no co-pay required.
