The penis inspector

I tend to post some of the endearing and funny experiences that I have with the kids in my clinic on Facebook. I have had MANY! but last week's took the cake as it led to some clever person following up on the event with a fake "license".

This was my post: This afternoon in clinic: I had brothers in the exam room sitting side by side on the exam table, ages 8 and 10. I say to the 10 year old "You are going to have to take your pants off because I need to have a look" He asks: "You need to see my penis?!" I say "Yes, but don't worry, it is a very quick look." The 8 year old brother turns to him and says "Yes, she needs to look at your penis, but don't worry she is a doctor, the government gives her permission to do that"

Th next day I found a Penis Inspector License (see image below) in my mailbox at work. And despite ample detective CSI type work on my part the culprit has still not claimed the deed.

These are a few other things I have heard and learned from kids:

1) I look pretty when I wear pink

2) Red nail polish is ONLY for Christmas

3) I have pretty hair

4) My hands are too cold

5) I should not be wearing heels to work, runners are more comfortable

6) I talk too much and ask too many questions

7) Tortoises dwell on land, turtles in water

8) "Dr. Lopez if you give needles kids will not like you"

9) Santa ALSO doesn't like doctors who give needles

10) Dora speaks better Spanish than me

11) The tooth fairy is cheap

11) My butt is WAY TOO big to fit in a small chair

There you have it. Out of the mouth of babes.
