I once went to ask a patient about his most recent fasting blood sugar level and he told me it was higher that usual. His wife, sitting not too far away, was monitoring the conversation. He told me he had had some fruit the night before as an explanation for this elevated reading. His wife interjected saying he ate too much fruit for his body to handle to which he replied, “Jesus ate fruit”. Without skipping a beat she retorted, “and Jesus walked everywhere “. 😂

Excellent response! I find that so often the truth is only unraveled when the wife speaks it. Thanks for sharing!
