I'm a Liar

Mrs. Big Dick McGee
So I have to take my step-son to the doctor Friday for a check up and to get his vaccinations to start school in August. I told my step-son he had to get shots and he asked in his sweet little voice, "Do shots hurt?" I looked him right in the eyes and said, "Not a bit!" He replied, "Oh, I thought shots poke you and hurt." And I said, "Nope, you'll be fine." I'm loading up the car with candy and games so he won't hate me so much for lying to him.
 
He'll learn his mother lied to him soon enough. He'll get over it.
 
Don't do it! Don't lie! Tell us what happened I want to know.
 
Yes. Tell us all about the look of betrayal in his eyes after he realizes you told him a whopper. I want to know the gory details!
 
Tell us about him slapping the nurse across the face at the unexpected jolt of pain.
 
I never asked my mom if things would hurt, but I remember asking a doctor, and he told me "no" so I didn't prepare myself for the pain. It hurt. After that all of my doctors knew better than to lie to me.

On the other hand, maybe its ok, I'm not sure.

Did you smack him one?
 
I swore really loudly once when I had an injection as a kid. The nurse was pretty shocked, but they probably hear it all the times nowadays.
 
Next hurdle: The Santa Claus/No Santa Claus dilemma.

Also, explaining how Peter Pan died last week.
 
Tell him he was arrested died in prison.
 
Peter Pan died on his birthday too, how sad right?

I just don't understand why no one has come up with a topical numbing agent so kids can't feel the shot, kind of like what dentists use when you have to get a shot in your gums. I know my step son, he won't cry, he'll scream like a banshee and then be piiiiiiiiissed. I'll let you know what happens.
 
Wacky, can you find out who Beverly Crusher's current descendent is in Scotland, and call them and tell them to INVENT THE FRICKIN HYPOSPRAY ALREADY?
 
They're too busy having sex with a ghost.
 
Yeah, he's gonna be PISSED on Friday. He won't cry, I doubt he'll even scream. He'll just produce a couple of fat crocodile tears and get all red in the face, and cross his arms.
 
Hide the weapons.
 
One trick that works is the short-term lie, also knows as the fakeout. Sugar-coat the truth --tell him it MIGHT hurt, for a split-second. His dread will build, but not as dramatically if he thinks he actually stands a chance of getting through it sans pain. When you get to the doctor's office stay close to him the whole time: in the waiting room; on the way to the exam room; in the exam room...this is to both soothe him and be in a strategic position should he decide to flip out or make a run for it. Lastly (and you'll have to brief the doctor on this beforehand), tell him he'll get the shot on the count of 3...and make sure the doc lets him have it between 1 & 2. He'll hate you --for about half a minute. Once the pain fades and he slowly realizes that he got worked up over nothing, THEN you should make your mea culpas.

This, of course, is assuming you don't get some quack or incompetent RN who jabs him 6-7 times.
 
Show him a picture of boobies just before the doctor pokes him.
 
Just tell him its going to hurt and there is not much he can do about it.
 
"Son, going to the Doctor is a lot like life. There's lots of pricks, and they always get you in the end."
 
Sounds more like prison than life. :eek:
