Jim is my brother-in-law. He was suffering from a toothache last week. But he didn’t want to see a doctor. Finally, however, my mother-in-law decided that she would go and see the doctor herself. She carefully explained that although her son had a lot of pain, he was refusing to get treatment. Her son was afraid of doctors. The nurse told her that they were used to dealing with this common fear and would be able to fit Jim in right away. "How old is your little boy?" she asked. My mother-in-law replied, "He’s 40 years old."
