Doctors/Hospitals:
Mom: Emily? Time to get up. We have to go to the doctor today.
Em as a small child: Will there be a shot?
Mom: No. Not that one.
Em: Okay.
A bit later at the local hospital...
Em: Why are we here? Will there be a shot?
Mom: No shot. The doctors are just going to look at your ears.
Em: Okay.
Doctor: Okay little miss... if you'll just put these slippers on... and this hospital gown... and drink this tiny cup of yummy medicine... that would be great... and you're great, aren't you?
Em: Okay.
Mom: Sure she is...
Em: (Puts on gown and slippers and drinks down the nasty red liquid meant to taste like cherries)
Doctor: That's a good girl! Now, that's just going to make you a bit drowsy... and when you're feeling sleepy we're going to give you this shot to make you go to sleep... but don't worry... it's okay to fall asleep... we're not going to hurt you... we're just going to put these little tubes in your ears to stop those nasty ear infections...
Em: (Looks at mother with betrayed eyes then unwillingly falls asleep)
A few hours later in a white room... with an IV in my hand!!!
Em: (Tries to scream... no sound... just excruciating pain)
Nurse: Oh, doctor? She's awake. You're okay... don't try to talk... you have a tube in your throat... do you want your mom?
Em: (Tries to make a sarcastic remark but can only nod head)
Nurse: I'll go get her.
Mom: Hi honey. Ya, they took your tonsils out too. You're such a good little patient.
Doctor: (Removes tube in throat) Do you want some water? Apple sauce? Do you have a headache?
Em: What's a headache?
Nurse, Doctor and Mom: (laughter)
Em: I hate you. Why didn't you tell me they were taking out my tonsils?
Nurse, Doctor and Mom: (laughter)
Mom: Didn't I?
