Pippi thought she was hot stuff matching Navy, and walking into Carruthy’s office as the “to be seen”.
She loved the attention of getting weighed and measured.
She really loved the attention of getting to wear the earphones.
And she even loved the raising her hand part.
She was loving all of the doctor’s good reports — she is above average in height, and at 26.5 pounds, she is not quite on the charts for weight — but developing great.
But when it came time for the nurse to come in — the feeling in the room dimmed. And Pippi’s face even went somber.
And then the speedy shots took place.
And then we hurried out for a sucker.
And as we went outside, and she looked at her prize while she held her boo boo, she told me “I don’t weally wike Dr. Cawoof anymore.”
Good thing she still likes her Nonnie, who cuddled up nice and tight to the girl who got shots.
