It all started with the doctor. He came and told us today that three of the kids tested positive for the flu. I was like, “Oh, great, I’m going to get sick.”

He said, “You’ve had the flu shot, right?”

Um…no.”

That answer started a whole series of events today. The doctor kept teasing me about how I don’t have the flu shot so I’ll probably get sick and I started feeling sick just from thinking about the possibility of getting sick. So it was determined that one of the medical assistants would give me the flu shot.

It was obviously a big deal because I’m terrified of needles. I will not go into detail because I honestly don’t remember too much (I was quite shaky and nervous), but later the doctor made a comment about how they couldn’t have found a better replacement because the girl before me was also a drama queen. He thought it was so funny. I thought it was embarrassing.

And not only did I get the flu shot, but I also got another shot to prevent me from getting some bad disease that could kill me. I think they made it up because they wanted to see me get another shot as they got such a kick out of my reaction to the first one.
