Betty Brigid has huge tonsils and was a carrier for strep, but they wouldn't pull hers.<br /><br />Betty Magdalen, Understanding T & A might be generational. I'll ask Betty Ariel if it's a term she knows. Betty Ar is home from Alaska until they find a winter park or move on to Ranger J's folks in upstate NY. <br />Betty Megan is almost a generation younger than her sister. I'd ask her but she's at her cousins.

His parents want the surgery - get it done and over with. The docs say he must be sick at least 4 times a year. <br /><br />Does a 3 month long case of Strep count??<br /><br />me<><Silly...

In a book I'm working on now, I mention the uh, less salubrious meaning of T & A (in the context of reality TV) and Betty Ross queried this. <br /><br />"Will people know what this means?"<br /><br />"Well, Betty Neels would have known it to mean tonsils and adenoids but the rest of us, it has that other meaning..."<br /><br />And you've proven me right. Yay.<br /><br />I had my tonsils out when I was a kid.
