The kids had to get H1N1 vaccines at school today. We thought they were going to get the mist, but Ethan was given a shot.
ETHAN: When they tried to give me the shot I pulled my arm away and they told me to think happy thoughts. But all I could think of was how I might die or end up in the hospital.
In the end, he was brave. Many of the kids cried, including one of his friends who is otherwise very tough, but who claims to suffer from "shotphobia". A defining day for the third graders.

I'm with Ethan and the "shotphobia" kid. There is nothing worse than getting a shot. I hate them so much.
Shots do suck, but I'd much rather get a shot than have someone draw my blood!
