People say a lot of weird stuff about health, their bodies, and so on. And it’s nice for grandmas to be concerned about their kiddos, but there’s been a lot in the news about over-medicating kids for ADD or what have you. Just because a kid behaves badly and likes certain foods that most kids like, it doesn’t mean he has a disease. If the latter is true, get me to a doctor.

Overheard of the Week:

At eastern Market, in line for Crepes at the Market:

Two older women are discussing their grandchildren.

Woman 1: “Well, my grandson has no table manners. All he ever wants to eat is pizza.”
Woman 2: “Oh, is he autistic?”
Woman 1: (Without batting an eye) “Oh no, he’s not.”

Keep those overheards coming! overheardindc(at)gmail(dot)com

After the jump, weird questions, books, and more medical terminology.
