So I took the little man to the pediatrician today. He weighs 18 lbs, 13 oz. The vaccines went better this time...he was fine with the first two, but the third vaccine is administered in a needle that irritates them more. (Why not use the inoffensive needle for all three? I don't know, but I assume there's a reason.) Anyway, I was prepared, and quickly put some Tylenol drops in his mouth. He calmed down and went to sleep in the cab on the way home. He's still sleeping!
The cabbie was enmeshed in family drama - his wife called from the hospital (she's been there for 2 weeks) and asked the cabbie to call their 2 sons and have them call her. (Why didn't she call them herself? Who knows.) So the cabbie tracked them down - both lawyers - and said, "I know you're busy, but take 2 minutes to call your mutha."

I am guessing the mom didn't want to feel she was imposing by asking her sons directly because she shouldn't have to ask... you know? :)
My guess about the mom not calling the sons directly was that maybe it's long distance and she doesn't want to run up a bill at the hospital? (You can tell I'm used to living away from family members. lol)
Suzy - good guess, but the mom was in a hospital in Long Island, and the sons were in Long Island and Manhattan.
On another note, I commend for you for enduring the shots experience. I nearly cry when I have to help the vet hold my cats while she takes their temperature (the "hard" way).
give the Heavy One a kiss for me. i always dig seeing his photos.
When do you plan to be in MA next? We can meet for dinner if it works with your schedule!
i'll be going home in early nov...
Call your mutha - LOL. You've got to wonder if they were ungrateful sons or she was a horrid mother. I'm nosy that way.
