Partial record of a phone conversation on Saturday.
My sister: Hey your niece wants to talk to you. (She hands over her cell phone.)
Me: Hello? Hello, N?
My Niece: Hewo, Emo (that is Aunt in Korean). (In the background, I hear my mother saying "N, say 'congratualtions' say 'congratulations.') Congwatuwations, Emo.
Me: Thank you, N. That is very nice of you to say.
My Niece: Why am I saywing "congwatuwations?" (Your, Emo, is now a doctor, I hear my Mom yell.) You awre a dowctor, Emo? My daddy and his fwiends awre dwoctors.
Me: I am a different kind of doctor. I do not help people. I am like your teacher. Sometimes teachers are called doctor too.
My Niece: No.
Me: Yes.
My Niece: You are not a doctor like my Daddy.
Me: Correct. My doctorate just means that I am smarter than you. Ow! (My sister just hit me.)

Nice one Evil Twin #1!
Your niece is adorable. And I love your sister and brother in law too.
your doctorate does qualify you to "play doctor" whenever you want. just make sure the boy is old enough.
Congwatuwations ET#1. I bet you could try to help people without your doctorate.
