Giraffe Tie

One day dad took me to the orthodontist and Dr.Fertman{my orthodontist} was wearing a giraffe print tie which I have said before. But then the next time I went I wore giraffe earrings that I got for Christmas and he said "Oh I like your earrings do you know that we have 7 neck bones,how many do you think a giraffe has?"I said the same amount and he was surprised that I knew the answer he said "Wow, I thought I got you there, let me tell you a story about one of my patients.I was surprised that he wanted to tell me a story so I said sure! So he said,"one day a new patient was coming in to meet me with her mother and grandmother,we sat down and started to talk when the grandmother was squinting,covering her eyes,and making weird faces.I said whats wrong? she said I cant stand giraffes!because I was wearing my giraffe tie so I had to cover up my tie with a piece of paper while we finished the meeting." I was so surprised he told me that while I was waiting. I'm pretty sure I was the only patient he ever told that story to!
