A friend came over to pick up Déla for a playdate while Tevye was simply just being very vocal about not feeling good. Laura told our friend that he had just had some vaccinations.
Discussion then turned to how vaccines have advanced, with new ones coming and even how now, such as this morning, three different vaccinations can be combined into one shot when just a few years ago many of them had to be administered individually.
We then relayed a story to our friend about how one time August required six different shots for his vaccinations. The nurse spent 10 minutes prepping everything and we were wondering what was taking so long. Suddenly she just started poking him with the needles and in about 20 seconds everything was done, including little bandages over where he got shots. It was over before he could even cry about the first one.
As we tell this story our friend turns to August and tells him not to worry, that she will prevent us from telling stories like this at his wedding. Chances are we’ll have forgotten about these types of stories anyway.
But that’s why I blog.
So I don’t forget.
And now I have no excuse not to remember this story at August’s wedding.
