The Finger Prick

Today was Madeline's 6yr check up at the doctor. She told Madeline after her exam that there would not be any shots this time, just a finger prick and then left the room so the nurse could come in and do that. Madeline had an absolute COME APART. I said "Aren't you happy there isn't a shot??" and she says in a horribly sobbing voice "Mommy! Aurora got her finger pricked and DIED!!!!!!!! I DON'T WANT MY FINGER PRICKED!!!!!!!!!!!" It was sooooooooo hard not to laugh at this, I couldn't believe she had made that comparison! For those of you who don't know, Aurora is the real name of Sleeping Beauty and we all know that story. =) Needless to say she did not choose Aurora when picking out stickers at the nurse's desk.
