I don't have a story to add to the eye doctor's category.
My story is from an audiologist I went to while living in Ireland.
His office was decorated with photos depicting the space walk of an ISS astronaut. And one showed the astronaut holding a pen and writing something with it.
Intrigued, I asked my fellow-space-enthusiast audiologist what the story behind his office decoration was.
Turns out, the astronaut was his son-in-law.
And the pen he wrote something with (
what he wrote I have long forgotten. Something like a postcard to his in-laws in Ireland, I believe),
the pen - would I maybe want to touch it?
I so did want to touch it!
And he gave the pen to me to hold for a time while we were discussing my new hearing aids.
