no longer a child...

i have been wanting to share this thought for a few days, but haven't gotten the chance to really sit down and write. i went to the doctor this past week and had such a sad experience. i had to get my finger pricked and that mean nurse lady just jabbed me with the pricker, squeezed all the blood out of my poor little finger and handed me a cotton swab thing and sent me on my way. can you believe that? not even a band-aid to stop the blood flow and mask the pain. what a disappointment?? as i sat there, an hour later, with my finger still dripping blood (okay, maybe it wasn't quite an hour...), i thought "it's official, i'm no longer a kid!" next time, i think i might take my own strawberry shortcake psychadelic bandaid and pull it out as soon as she finishes...maybe even ask her to put it on there for me! ;)
