True, Indeed

Posted by | January 22, 2008 | 9 Comments

(Walking 4-year-old out of the pediatrician’s exam room, where he was found to have a sinus infection, an ear infection, and strep throat.)

Receptionist: Would you like a sticker, Sam? (Points to the plexiglass sticker display, which recently replaced the candy basket.)

Sam: *shakes head*

We walk out of the office.

Me: No sticker, huh?

Sam: Stickers are crap.

    Thanks, ladies. Let’s just say I was glad he waited until we were out of earshot.

    And yes, compared to Twix minis, stickers ARE crap.

    Is he feeling better? That’s quite a triple play of ailments to have all at the same time. Ouch! No wonder stickers weren’t doing it for him anymore.
