We turned this morning's outing to the lab into a good one. It was an interesting one for sure as I saw a side of my darling daughter that I've never seen before. That beautiful, sweet being turned into a devious little comedian at her poor big brother's expense. I just wish I had a video camera rolling.

Let me just say, Aaron is never sick and aside from routine immunizations, there's never a reason for labwork. He's a bit squeamish of it all and will usually hide in his room on Michaela's shot day....big chicken. He really didn't know what to expect today and was asking me questions in the car, on the way there.
The conversation went a bit like this:

Aaron: Will it hurt?

Michaela (who chimed in before I had a chance to open my mouth): Yup, a whole bunch

Aaron: Really?

Michaela: Yup, and then your arm hurts all day.

Aaron(looking horrified): Is she telling the truth?..directed at me

Me: No, it doesn't hurt anymore than a pinch.

Aaron: Will they be taking a lot of blood

Michaela: Yup, tons. And leave the band-aid on or all the blood comes dripping out.
--All said with a completely straight face as her big brother was practically turning green--

We get to the lab, they call his name and she yells to him..."don't be scared and hold your arm up after so it doesn't fall off!"

Hehehehehe.....she has an evil side.
