Ma'am, your child is fine. You, on the other hand...

Mrs. Bonkers: "I'm concerned my daughter isn't growing. She had cancer in her spine (which is gone) and now she's two inches shorter than all the kids in her class. They all started the same height in kindergarten. I mean I don't WANT her to be shorter than all the kids in her class. I mean look at her, she's almost 8 and only FOUR FEET TALL"

Me: "Let's check her charts. She's within the normal range for her weight and height for her age."

Mrs. Bonkers: "But I don't want her to be normal I want her to be fine."

Hmmm, which one of us would need the Xanax more...
