The doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired.
At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.
As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wider as he realised she had a prescription for birth control pills.
"MRS Smith, do you realise these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!"
"Yes, they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs Smith, I can assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these pills that could possibly help you sleep!"
She reached out and patted the young doctors knee."Yes, dear I know that, but every morning I grind up one of the pills 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!"
