Kids say the darndest things, part 1,324,098

Today I had my annual skin check with the dermatologist. Not my idea of fun, but much less fun when I had to drag both girls with me.

When we pulled into the parking lot, M asked me why I was going to the doctors. Not wanting to alarm her, I explained that the doctor was going to check my freckles to make sure they still looked healthy. She asked, “When the doctor comes in the room, can I tell him why you’re there?” “Of course, you can. That would be a big help.” I asked her a couple more times, to make sure she knew what to say, and each time, she said, “Mommy needs you to check to make sure her freckles are healthy.” Good. She gets it. And I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of her trying to help.

So we waited in the exam room, entertaining 2 squirmy girls as best as I could in my johnny, and the doctor walked in. We chatted, and he asked if there was anything specific that we should check out. M jumped in, “Can I tell you why Mommy is here?” “Of course. Why is Mommy here today?”

“She wants you to check the wrinkles on her bum.”

Kill. Me. Now.

    she did. Sweet, sweet child. Luckily, the doctor got a bigger kick out of it than I did. Would have been worse if he was some dud who didn’t see how hilarious it was.

    LOL! That is hilarious!

    And, oh, those dreaded skin checks. My last one included 3 med students who were size sixes watch as the dermatologist examined my naked body. Good times.

    I think there should be a law against medical students watching that. It’s not exactly the same thing as looking in your throat. We’re pretty exposed at those check ups!
