Holey Sarcasm Girl!
20/9/09 18:45Frequenters of this space will remember, perhaps, that my older daughter has been deeply phobic about needles for years. Getting a blood test done required valium and massive preparation; she's due for a tetanus shot and some other shots, and we just didn't have the psychic wherewithal to get it done.
And then yesterday the girl calls me: "Guess what I just did?" she asks. I bite: "What?"
"I got a flu shot! It wasn't even awful or anything! I mean, I flinched, but just a little."
It may not sound like it, but this is HUGE. I'm very proud of my girl. I'd say I'm proud of my woman, but she's really her own woman, and I'm just one of her home bases. Regardless, this is HUGE and I'm a proud Mama.
