Well visit gone bad...

This is an oldie but a goody.  When Preston turned six we took him for his well check up.  He also needed 2 shots for the school year.  When the doctor came in and began asking me questions, it was evident that Preston was not pleased that he was being ignored.  After all, he was six now.  He was perfectly capable of answering questions about himself.  So, when she asked if he had any allergies, he was quick to speak up.  "Actually, I do have a couple of allergies.  I am allergic to mold and 'pissinilin'."  Our doctor gave me a quick smirk and pressed on.  Her next question was about his sleeping patterns and diet.  Again, Preston was quick to answer with, "I sleep fine, and I eat great."  To top off the visit he took both shots without shedding a single tear.
