And then when we went for the HIV test at the health department, the elderly nurse stepped out of the clearly marked HIV Office and yelled, "Mr, and Mrs. Carnation! We have your test results!" and we knew several people in the waiting room. My normally quiet husband said loudly, "Oh, for our ADOPTION!" and as we followed her into her office, she was saying, "You mean you don't need no counseling for how to avoid the need for another HIV test?" Um, no we didn't.

Ha ha, I relate! Nothing quite like going to the county health department and mumbling, "I'm here for an AIDS test." Then we had to sit in the Communicable Disease area and wait to be called, praying nobody we knew would come in.
