Me holding up phone to confused patient's ear: "This is your son. Here you go. Say hi."
Patient, looking straight at me and ignoring the phone: "Hi!"
Me to patient: "No no... on the phone."
Patient, smiling at me: "On the phone."
*sigh*
------------------
Same patient after phone call...
Me to patient: "That was your son, he just wanted to hear your voice."
Patient: "Oh... [pause] Did he hear it?
Me: "Um, yes. He heard it."
Patient: "Good."
--------------------
Attending to patient: "Who do you live with at home sir?"
Patient: "Yes... we live together."
Attending: "Who is we? Your wife?"
Patient: "Yes... [pointing at senior, male resident] her and I!"
Heh heh.
