Top 10 REAL Names For This Waiting Room

by Gina Valley

I’m at a philosophical crossroads.

I’ve long believed waiting rooms are the only properly named spaces in the world.

But, having sat in the parents’ waiting room for nearly uncountable hours during my child’s treatments, I’ve began to wonder if perhaps these rooms are misnamed.

Or, perhaps it’s just this one.

I’m pretty sure if I have to sit in this waiting room much longer I’m going to turn into a serial killer.

It’s not that I’m ungrateful for her treatment. I’m very grateful for it. And, I’m thankful for our insurance, without which we couldn’t afford this treatment.

But…

It’s definitely time to rename this waiting room, maybe even all of them.
