Mom took me to get a flu shot. We know several people who already have gotten the flu, and yuck. Mom told me I was getting one in the morning when we were discussing all the stuff I had going on for that day. Needless to say, I did not want a shot! But we did talk about getting princess band-aids and ice cream afterwards. Our friends couldn't meet us for lunch after school, but we went out anyway, then off to watch mom get her flu shot (my eyes were big) and pick out my band aids. Next we went to my doctor's office and waited for my flu shot, there were lots of kids there already. Most were strong, and we didn't hear as much crying coming back down the hall as we did from the kids walking to the back anticipating the shot. Mom says I was a trooper, no cries, no fuss. I walked down the hall, had my Snow White band aid already picked out, pulled up my sleeve, and gave the band-aid to the nurse. Got my shot, without a word, and picked out a sticker and walked out. No tears. On the way out the door, I did tell mom "that did hurt". Then off to Dairy Queen for ice cream for both of us, mom got some too, since she got a shot too.
PS- I kept the band aid on for five days, wouldn't let anyone near it. Mom finally got it off, while I was with some new friends I met at the beach and watching horses on the beach.
