A Painful Question Sarah speaks first. I pick up my Magic 8-Ball and read the answer. It says to ask again later. We all have a good laugh and I tell them that questions requiring a yes or no answer can easily be answered by the 8-Ball. They must dig deeper.
Some students erase and re-write.
I ask Sarah to tell me what about the pain is troubling her. I stand up and walk across the room. Breathing heavily, I clutch my belly, scream and grab Jeff's hand. Between gasps and moans I pull him to his feet and into the center of the room. I beg him to press a certain spot on my back in a particular way.
