  • Today DH and I went to get flu shots with all the other folks lined up. With riding crowded trains and working in a school where everyone brings their germs it just seemed like a good idea. At the doctor's office there was a brother and sister duet that howled in harmony over their shots. The shot actually didn't hurt at all. Next after me was a little girl who was saying she was scared so I assured her that the doctor was really very skillful and that she had nothing to worry about, but she started hollering in the doorway of the examination - innoculation - torture chamber, and the hollering morphed into screaming. I wonder how many it took to hold her down? I was finished and decided to leave quickly so she would not come out and call me a liar.
