Perceptive One

Yesterday, I had to take Zoe to the pediatrician’s office so that the doctor could take a look at her ears and make sure that her ear infection was indeed gone. As we were sitting in the exam room, waiting on the doctor, Zoe was chattering as usual about a million different things. Mid-sentence, she noticed the sharps container on top of a cabinet in the room.

Have you ever thought about the “hazardous waste” symbol on those packages?

Well, Zoe has. She immediately said, “Mommy, why is that box going ?”

I explained the purpose of the box, and she nodded as if it all makes sense. “Yea. Shots are YUCK.”
