Like auntie, like niece

I have to tell this story on the blog. So, my 4.5 year old niece Sadee I found out while I was gone on the cruise, fell and hit her head on a table and had her first "doctor visit". Of course, I had to call my sister to get the scoop. Alas, Kari was not allowed to tell the story, Sadee "had to tell me"...thus ensued the funniest explanation of what happened I have ever heard.

"Alisa, blood was GUSHING down my shirt and head."

"Sadee, what happened?"

"I cut my head and blood was gushing Alisa".

After a few more attempts to try and get the real story out of her, I got the story from my sister. Yes, she fell, hit her head on a table, had a hole in her head and my sister said "you should have seen the look when she saw the hole Alisa, not pain, more like wow, there is a hole in my head". So, they took her to the emergency room, where they now don't give shots, just numbing glue on the wound and sewed her up. The doctor thought she was a little spitfire because she told the doctor "to fix the hole in her head" and when he joked with her if she had apologized to the table, she told him, "I don't have to say sorry to a table Doctor!".

But, with her bandaid on, she thinks she is SO cool, and now she is telling EVERYONE her claim to fame, how she had blood gushing and got stitches and how her little sister Ava screamed harder than her when she saw the hole. And she thinks the "purple spot" on her head is just BEAUTIFUL Alisa.

Yeah, made me laugh so hard. Made me think back to when I was three, and chasing my dad around the fireplace, cracked my head open. I also got taken to the emergency room, where they had NO numbing medicine, and all I remember is being strapped to a blue table and screaming for life.... and I did NOT look like a pirate. I had a huge bandage in the middle of my forehead forever. If only I could have the "exotic" trip to the doctor that Sadee did :)
