Blood Bank

Seth gave blood today - Yay, Seth! - which is doubly great since he is a universal donor. (Actually we both are, but I'm small enough that if I gave a pint of blood I would probably pass out and require a blood transfusion which would sort of defeat the purpose.)

The volunteer who was checking Seth in looked at him and said, "I'm going to ask you a question that may sound a little weird."

"Ok..." replied Seth.

"Have you always been male?"

Of course Seth replied in the affirmative. Fortunately, she wasn't just asking that because Seth is such a pretty boy. Apparently, the last time Seth gave blood, he was mistakenly entered into the database as a female. Oops!

(By the way, Thanksgiving and Birthday photos are coming - Seth's computer monitor is not working so he has mine so I've lost access to my pictures for the time being.)

Yes, thank you, Seth, for your donation! We had a good blood drive & I thank you for enduring personal and difficult questions as such to give the gift that is so valuable, but costs nothing of you but your time. That question HAD to be the quote of the day! ;)
