“To laugh or to Cry”
This morning Bonnie was getting ready for the day when she said out loud, “ I don’t want to go today”. Lizzy asked Bonnie, “ You don’t want to go where?” So Bonnie gently told Lizzy about going to the Dr. to get an annual Mammogram. Bonnie gently explained to her what a Mammogram was. With a funny look on her face, Liz said, “OK” and turned and walked away.
After school Liz came up to Bonnie and said, “Mommy, how was your Dr. boob thing today?” Bonnie trying to get Liz to use proper terminology said, “They are called breasts and it hurt when they squished them in the machine.” “Liz looked Bonnie over for a second or two and then said with a very straight and serious face, “they do look smaller from all the squishing.” Bonnie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but in the end we all had a good laugh.
