Typing notes & earhustling at the nurses’ station:
Older lady: "Where you been?"
Younger lady: "I lost my grandmother so was away."
OL: *looks sad* "Oh, really? Baby, I'm so sorry for your lost."
YL: "Loss."
Me: *looks up from computer*
OL: "Beg pardon?"
OMG. OMG. OMG.

YL: "You said 'LOST.' It's my LOSS that you’re sorry for."
Me: *mouthing after tiny gasp* "Oh snaaaaap!"
*awkward silence*
YL: "No T. Like, LOST is mostly a verb and LOSS is a noun."
Me: *silent scream into fist*
*silence*
(actual GIF of me in that moment)

OL: "Well. Okay. I'm sorry for all of it whatever the hell you call it."
YL: "Just say LOSS with an S not LOST like a lost and found."
OL: "Wait. Am I giving you condolences and you gon' give me. . . . a grammar lesson?”
*super duper awkward silence while OL glares at her*

OL: "Well, let ME give YOU a lesson about timing out what you say."
YL: *listening*

OL walks away.
Aaaand scene.
Me:
