Grandma's Pills

 

A doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life

and he had finally retired.

At her next check-up, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines

that had been prescribed for her.

As the young doctor looked through the list, his eyes grew wide as he realized

she had a prescription for birthcontrol pills.

 

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?"

 

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."

 

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely

NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!"

 

She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee.

"Yes, dear, I know that.  But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in

the glass of orange juice that my 16-year-old granddaughter drinks...

And believe me; it helps me sleep at night!"
