In the hospital #2

M: "Odan, you have wires coming out of your shirt. Are they robot wires?"

O: "Huh?"

M: "Wait, are they turning you into a robot?"

O: "Yeah! They are! Aaahhh! I'm turning into a robot!"

This is how I knew he was feeling better. His sense of humor was coming back.

However, when King and DeeAnn came in to visit the first time, as I was explaining all the tubes and wires to them I said,

M: "And see these wires? This is where they are turning Odan into a robot."

DeeAnn and King both gasped...

D: "What??"

K: "No!"

They totally believed me. The looks on their faces were so sad and devastated. So I quickly said,

M: "No, no, I'm just kidding. They aren't turning Odan into a robot."

Then Odan pipes in,

O: "Yes they are. Look, these wires are really coming out of my skin!"

I had to tell Odan it wasn't a funny joke to King and DeeAnn. They were really scared for a minute.
