It Was Good While It Lasted

I was sitting with two fellow nurses and one cute little patient. One of the other nurses was talking about how she was nervous about something. The little patient said, “What are you, a scaredy cat?” And then she meowed. The nurse laughed. “Natalie, The Scaredy Cat!” The girl chanted. “Hey,” I chimed in, “what about me?” She paused briefly, “Julie, The Good,” she said. Wow. Well, she’s obviously brilliant – a terrific judge of character. Julie, The Good. I’ll take it. My pride was short lived, however, when the other nurse became Danielle, The Goodest. Damn. It was good while it lasted.
