Say 'Aaah!'

I took Charlie to the doctor today to make sure he didn't have strep throat. He opened his mouth wide for the tech when she swabbed his throat but then of course turned bright red and gagged. When she finished I expected him to burst right into tears but instead he looked up and managed, "Thank you!" She said that was the first time she had ever been thanked after a throat culture, and I believe it!

The culture was, thankfully, negative and Charlie seems to be on the mend. Afterwards he recapped his experience: "Doctor tell Charlie 'Say Aaaah', stuck fork down my throat!"
