Tonsils
Comments (1) A little while ago, I remembered something that I haven’t thought about in a very long time. Actually, I’m not sure if I lived it or saw it in a dream.
This happened when I was very young and just starting school. I don’t know if it took place in a doctor’s office or during a school field trip. Maybe it happened while I was staring at the back of my eyelids. I just remember that I wanted them: those tonsils they pulled out.
It was a tonsillectomy demonstration, and the tonsils they “pulled out” were little red foam balls. I thought they were the coolest thing I had ever seen. I started to imagine them as my new favorite toys! How awesome would it be if I had my tonsils tucked away in a pocket, always available? It would be loads of fun, right? I wanted mine pulled too!
Well, I still have my tonsils, and they are not in my pocket.
