   There's a nurse that lives in my street.  She honestly thought one of my   
   kittens was ill because it was "small".  I pointed out that kittens are   
   smaller than cats and she was really confused.  I guess she doesn't work in   
   the ward where people give birth    
   and hasn't had to learn that fucking obvious fact.
