Occasionally you run across an incident where you take a very vivid mental picture, but unfortunately do not get an actual photo. One such occasion happened to me the other day while Andrew and I were out in town.
To preface this mental picture there are a few things you need to know. First, here in our city, there are lots of little pharmacies. You cannot walk very far without crossing one. Secondly, generally speaking, you do not need a prescription to get medication at such said pharmacies.
The other day Andrew and I were walking downtown. It was in the evening, so things were fairly busy. As we were walking, I happened to look over through an open door and window of a pharmacy. What I saw was priceless. I saw a man who had picked up his boy (around 6 years old) and stood him on the counter. The little boy's pants were down and the father was pointing at something on his leg showing the pharmacist. I find this hilarious for several reasons. I think it is funny that pharmacists are just like doctors here. They can diagnose and prescribe right on the spot. The other hilarious thing is that this occurred in the middle of downtown. Other people were in the store and many people were on the streets walking by the store.
Oh the joys of living in another culture.
