Patient: “what are you doing?”
Nurse: “shhh, I’m looking at your feet, go back to sleep.”
Patient: “what?”

Etiology: Comes from the psychological “spoon theory” (look that up separately I ain’t explaining it)
Someone: “wanna hang out today?”
Me: “Nah I don’t have enough spoons for that, I’m planning on napping.”
Someone: “tf is a spoon?”
