So I’m explaining to the kids (on a drive… all my teaching moments seem to be in the car!) how medication has to get past the digestive system if its going to be taken in pill form.
(this came from me wishing out load that there was a cream called “Fat Be Gone” that I could just rub on my tummy. Little smart asses suggest a pill form would be better since it’s for the ‘tummy’.)
And I was telling them that if medication cannot get past the digestive tract with active ingredients it has to go directly into the body through a shot. Which generated an entire discussion on how horrible vs not so bad shots were.
My oldest saying shots aren’t so bad because the pain only lasts a short time. The other two saying ALL pain is bad and to be avoided at all costs.
ME: Now, now, what you just have to tell your body is, “Its okay, its okay, it’ll be over soon.”
EVAN: Yeah.. but that quickly turns into “Run away, run away and it’ll be over NOW!”
