An email and giggle from my Mom . . .
On Wednesday I went to the clinic to get my H1N1 shot. The clinic had a room set up where all they did was give these shots by appointment. When I arrived there was nobody else in there but right after I got there a woman came in with 3 little triplet boys that I would guess were about 3 years old. The mom asked the boys who wanted to go first and they were standing in a line and none of them said anything…they all just shook their heads no. Then the nurse stepped in and showed them a roll of very big stickers and said that after they got their shot they could pick out a couple of those. Mom again asked who wanted to go first and again they all stood there and shook their heads no. At that point I rolled up my sleeve and said to them, “You know what, I’ll go first and you’ll see that it really doesn’t hurt and you know what else…I don’t even get a cool sticker like you!”. One of the little boys looked at me and said, “You don’t get a sticker?” and I said “no I don’t”. He then said, “You can have my sticker because I’m not getting a shot!”. The nurses and I laughed sooo hard! I left feeling sorry for that mom because she wasn’t going to have an easy time.
