Quite a while back my mom was taking me to get a checkup on my right foot because I tore a ligament in it jumping off my high school bleachers a week or so before.

We were going to a doctor I’d never been to before, wasn’t my usual PCP as he reccomended us to this place. The lobby was fairly busy, but not over flowing with people. In this flux of people was a little boy and his father, both of whom my mom nor I ever, and I mean ever, met.

Out of the blue while getting in line to check in, this boy looks at us and says “(my name) and (mother’s name).” Very childishly, not sing songy but not monotone? My mom says “Did he just say our names?” And after asking me that, he and his father were taken to the back as it was their turn to be seen. I never saw them come out, I never saw them again.

To this day I replay this scene and wonder what the fuck that was about? I’ve never asked my mom about it since then, and maybe I should.
