Traumatized

I took both kids to get their shots a week or so ago. Both at the same time. Well what a show that was!

Matthew went first, and boy oh boy did he not like it! "OOOOWWWWWWWWW! MOMMY THAT HUUUUUURRRRRRRRRT! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OWWWWWWWWWWW! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!". You get the picture. But it gets worse, cuz he needed TWO needles. "NOOOOOOOO MOMMY! I DON'T LIKE THIS! I HATE THE DOCTOR! OWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I WANNA GO HOME! I WANNA GO HOME RIGHT NOW! I NEVER COMING TO DA DOCTORS AGAIN! OWWWWWWWWWWW!". Keep in mind this is before the second needle went in.

Maya of course is watching the whole thing. Her little blue eyes bug right out and she turned white as a ghost (which isn't saying much since she's so white you can hardly see her in a snowbank). Then it's her turn. The doctor comes near her with a needle and she knows this is gonna suck. First needle. "Waaaaaaaaaah". Tries to squirm away but I'm got the Vulcan Death Grip on her. Second needle goes in. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!". Then Matthew starts up again cuz, oh yeah he forgot, his needles really hurt. Now Maya sees Matthew all upset and wails louder.

It's all done, and they walk out of the doctor's office, rubbing their arms and crying "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" in unison. My doctor is usually not the jovial type, but I saw him in the corner with a colleague of his laughing. And I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. The two kids whine all the way to the coat rack, passing the waiting room where everyone there was laughing too.

On the way home, Matthew was having flashbacks I guess and wanted to talk to Daddy at work. I call Chris from my cell, put Matthew on, and as soon as he hears Daddy's voice he whines "Daddy the doctor hurted me!". So I start laughing all over again.

Matthew now swears he will never go to the doctor ever again.
