Dorothy's four-year-old doctor's appointment went fine, but of course there were multiple immunization shots and tears and such. After the appointment, Dorothy was treated to ice cream and a little set of plastic dolls called "My Mini MixieQ's".
In bed that night, Dorothy played with her little dolls, and she called me in to tell me, "I'm pretending that these My Mini MixieQ's are going to the doctor. They're doing all the same things I did today, except..."
She paused, and I expected her to say "except they do not get shots."
Instead, she said, "except...they will not get Mini MixieQ's for a present because they are Mini MixieQ's!"
