Pancakes!!!

One thing I love about medical speech pathology is the sheer variety of people I get to work with. Recently I've gotten to work with a number of patients with a variety of psych histories. Yesterday was a gem:

Phil: Would you like a snack?
Patient: Pancakes!!!
Phil: Yum! But I don't have pancakes. How about applesauce?
Patient: Ok.

Patient: I'm ready for supper!
Phil: It's 10:30 in the morning, but I'll bite. What do you want?
Patient: Pancakes!!!
Phil: What about for lunch today?
Patient: Pancakes!!!

The humor wasn't even in the words themselves, but the uninhibited enthusiasm with which they were spoken. It's moments like these that really make me love what I do.
