“You’ve exceeded every expectation. Did you follow my instructions exactly as I gave them?”
The blonde proudly nodded. “Yes, doctor. Every single detail.”
The doctor leaned forward, fascinated. “That’s remarkable discipline. But tell me, how did you feel on the third day, the one where you had to skip meals? Was it unbearable with hunger?”
The blonde gave him a weary look, shook her head, and sighed. “No, doctor… I thought I was going to drop dead that third day. Not from hunger—” she paused dramatically, “but from all the skipping.”
For a moment, the doctor blinked, stunned, and then the room filled with laughter. What was meant to be a serious consultation had turned into an unexpectedly funny misunderstanding. The blonde had taken his words literally—spending every third day hopping and skipping instead of eating, convinced that was part of the plan.
Her innocent misinterpretation became a story he would remember for years, a reminder that sometimes the simplest instructions need the clearest explanations. And for her, it was proof that determination—combined with a little humor—could lead to surprising results.
