My dad was taken to the hospital last night. |

Is he all right ? |

He is fine now, but he
thought he was having a heart attack. |
Annie |
Did he ? |
Nancy |
No, he ate 30 of my
Mom's dumplings. He just had heartburn. |
Annie |
Not so bad. |
Nancy |
Yeah. It was a real wake-up call for him, and now he's going to eat more
carefully. |
