a jab in the arm

on sunday, brought my daughter to a clinic for a meningitis shot. early morning, i already told her and she was crying hysterically. i didnt want to lie so i told her the purpose of the visit. then, i came up with a story that 2 yrs back, she had taken the shot. she asked me whether did she cry and i said no. so, she said, 'oklah...kita pergi cucuk'. went to 2 clinics at first but they didnt have it. when we got back into the car, she asked me, 'kata nak cucuk...'. i was rather inpressed coz the statement came from a girl who cried endlessly in the morning. then, when we were in the doctor's room, the doctor wanted to jab her in the butt so that she wont feel so much pain. she refused and when the doctor asked why, she answered 'malulah. doctor kan boy...' the doctor finally obliged. she insisted to be shot in the arm. she cried a bit but at least she didnt make a scene. i was so proud of her for being so brave.
my parents enquired about it and it shows that she was boasting. so, my mum promised to buy her toys for being so brave. i juz heard from mum that she has chosen a very huge foldable castle that can fit 2 adults. now i''m worried coz i will definitely be the one to carry it around.
