Flu Shot Conversation (11-28-2006)

This morning, Zoe got a flu shot. I told her that we were going to the doctor and she was going to get a shot in her leg to keep her from getting sick. She translated this to she was going to the doctor to make her leg feel better. We get to Zoes doctor's office which is located on the second floor of the building & used the stairs rather than the elevator. We sign in and wait our turn. When they call *Michelle's* name (for some reason she is always called Michelle at the doctor - something to do with her first & middle name being on the chart when usually it is only the first name), we head back to the room. Zoe is a little apprehensive, but not doing too bad. I sign the consent from, pull down her pants & hold her arms above her head. The nurse tells Zoe there is going to be a little pinch. Zoe winces ever so slightly as she gets the shot. She checks out her band-aid and we pull the pants back up. She then says, "Now, we can go on the elevator." Sure. In the car while leaving, she says, "The doctor gave me a little pinch. It tickled." If only, it were all this easy!!
