My Single Mom Life: Cough please.

« So far, no news. | Main | Happy birthday Mom! »

Cough please.

We ventured all over the city practically to get to the docs. It's not very far, but the bus takes the scenic route through Siesta Key which was kinda nice today.
Another gorgeous day here.
We get to the docs and as we're finding his office, the boys ask specifically what we're doing here.
Me: "Well, to get Mark's back looked at for one, and you both need physicals."
Them: "What kind of physical?"
Me: "Well the kind of physical boys at your age have to do. Blood check, urine, blood pressure, ball check, height, weight, etc."
Them: "Whoah. Did you just say ball check?!"
Me: "Yes, I said ball check, as in turn your head and cough."
Their faces went white.

We went in and they were weighed and measured, blood pressure checked, we have to go to a lab and have hemoglobins and urine tested, and then the doc comes in and takes a turn with each of them.
Sebastian went first.
He listened to his heart and lungs, checked his ears and throat, tested his reflexes and then said lay down, I need to check your manhood.
Sebastian: "What?!"
Sebastian had gone so red in the face, it was near purple in color. He giggled hysterically which made Mark giggle which made me giggle.
Then it was Mark's turn and he went through all the same but when it was time to check his manhood, he went white. Rather than be embarrassed, he was mortified someone was touching his balls.
Sebastian was still giggling. Uncontrollably. You would have thought I had taken a couple of 4 year olds to a bra store the way the two of them laughed about all of this.
The doctor checked Mark for scoliosis, said he had a nice straight spine. *phew*
But he did say he's been seeing a lot of kids with backaches this year since the beginning of school. He wrote Mark a note and that was that.

We went out and caught the bus towards home and stopped at McDonald's because we were starving, and I got a happy meal.
They come with toys from the new movie Flushed Away.

It's a compass. I'll never get lost again.

That made ME giggle.

It was too funny. I was slightly embarrassed by the way they were giggling so much. Why oh why did I have to have boys? LoL

Ball check...LOL!

I'm glad Mark's back is good and straight.

My two kids did the exact same thing with their physicals, with the turning red and giggling. Mine giggled incessantly, and the doctor was NOT amused!

I am glad all is well with your boys!

Ha! Both of my boys had an appointment last week, for their physicals. They weren't diggin' the whole "pull down your pants and cough" thing. I was told to stand out in the hall and wait. When I came back in, both kids faces were bright read. It was priceless.
