Bobo and the Pap Smear

Bobo’s a special boy, who says/thinks special things. Bobo and the Pap Smear is one of those such moments.

Early in Bobo and SIL’s dating life, they were at a second hand book store perusing through the books. SIL had a nagging cough (she had one after starting to work part-time at a daycare while still in school, and she never lost it, until she quit the job) and made a comment about thinking she might have cancer or something. Bobo, from another aisle, chimes in, rather loudly, “can’t you just get a pap smear to see if you have cancer?”

SIL was very embarrassed and there were many eyes on her from other customers. She then goes over to Bobo and explains to him what a Pap Smear is for and how it can’t be used for general cancer detection. Poor stupid Bobo didn’t know.

When SIL told the fam the Pap Smear story- we all laughed and then proceeded to tease Bobo relentlessly. He kept saying that he didn’t know what cancer the Pap detected, just that it was done for cancer.

Incase everyone is curious- Bobo is a teaching our youth. Please be very afraid for our future.
