When do kids learn to be sarcastic little shits?
No seriously, I’m really asking.
I feel absolutely ridiculous posting this but my almost 6-year-old hurt my feelings.
She’s in a cast and her fingers on the casted hand are filthy and the nails were long and she needed to have them washed and clipped.
Cue the drama.
My nails are long, so of course hers have to be as well. She refused to let me cut the nail on her pinky finger and finally with some struggle I got the nail cut, albeit maybe a little too short.
She was mad. I cut too much off and hurt her little finger. (It was short, yes, but she wasn’t bleeding or anything!)
Then she muttered under her breath in a sarcastic tone, “Some doctor!”
Yeah.
Thanks kid.

I get sarcasm from my 10 year old nephew. I want to wash his mouth out with soap sometimes
Haha!! I distinctly remember my mother doing that to me for saying a swear word. Can’t recall how old I was or what the word was but the taste of soap in my mouth I will never forget.
Thanks for your comment!
Wow. Yeah. Totally have heard that from my own kids….
Oh thank goodness! Thank you for posting! My husband thought it was pretty funny and remarked that I must have missed the class in med school in how to cut a nail. Lol! Made me laugh.
Technically they don’t teach us how to trim a nail. Rip it out of the nail bed when it is ingrown… sure. But no lessons in nail trimming! 🙂
Indeed! I sucked at suturing nails as well.
Thanks for the reminder of the thing I was trying to forget about my own toe!!! Eek!
Haha!!
Seriously, I’m pretty sure it’s infected… So I got my friend to rx me some keflex… Hopefully that fixes it!
Eek!! Sorry!! Salt water soaks too! Keflex should do the trick!
Sounds like you’re a great doctor–and mom!
Oh, thank you so much! 🙂
bahaha, of course she did. I love her 🙂
Kids know just how to make us feel bad. They are designed that way!
I’ve never had very thick skin. I think I’m doomed. 😉
