A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in.
The doctor arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight, found it somewhat below normal, and asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
"Breast-fed," she replied.
"Well, strip down to your waist," the doctor ordered.
She did.
He pressed, kneaded, rolled, cupped, and pinched both breasts for a while, in a detailed, rigorously thorough examination.
Motioning to her to get dressed, he said, "No wonder this baby is
underweight. You don't have any milk."
I know," she said, "I'm his Grandma, but I'm glad I came."
