Think with me

Before I get into my thoughts, I wanted to say that my computer is back! And not only that, but as I look through the backup that I performed a while back, there are far more files on it than I initially thought. That means that a lot of the music and pictures I thought I lost, I didn't. I even have many of the notes I thought I'd lost. NOW, it is disappointing that my notes from the Spring 07 semester as well as photos from the summer and recent music are lost, but rejoice in backing up.

Anyway, this was presented to me today in my literature class.

A man and his son were out rock climbing and the son fell in a freak accident. The father rushed his son to the hospital, as it was thought he broke his leg. In the emergency room, the doctor looked as gasped, "This is my son!"

How is this possible?




Our initial thought is to label the doctor as male, but the fact of the situation is that the doctor is the boy's mother. Interesting commentary and example on gender issues.
