Dear Diary: Oh yeah, I am volunteering to get vomited on! Man, being a superhero in real life isn’t nearly as glamorous as in the comics and on TV. I’m not at all happy with my mom for signing me up for this, but at least I can keep an eye on Doctor Dangerfield.

Anthony…

First, I read a story to a cute little girl named Tiz. She needed to have her tonsils removed, and my mom was her doctor. I assured Tiz the operation would be over in a snap and she would be fine. Tiz seemed happy knowing that her doctor was a mom.

Next, I met with a young woman named Tess and her husband, Juan. Juan paced up and down the room nervously, as they were expecting their first child. He showed me his hand. It was red from Tess squeezing it so hard. I let Tess squeeze on my hand for a bit. All the while, I patted her head with a wet towel the nurse had given me. Both the nurse and Juan seemed grateful for my help.

After that, I checked in on an older man. The man sat up in his bed and smiled when I walked in. He put down the American Science magazine he’d been reading.

“Well hello there, young lady!” he told me.

“Hi, my name is Lia and I’m a helpful hands volunteer,” I smiled.

The man put his hands behind his head. “I’m Anthony,” he said with a slight grimace. “Sorry, sometimes my arthritis gets to me a bit.”

“Anything I can do for you?” I asked.

“Can you make me 50 years younger?” he asked.

“Sorry, no,” I said with a little shake of my head.

He patted a chair next to his bed. “Then come sit, talk for a bit…”

I did as he asked. After all, I liked talking and sitting.

“You don’t mind talking to an old man?” he asked.
