My six-year-old is having her tonsils taken out today (yes, the picture is of swollen tonsils. No, they aren’t hers). So we’ll be at the hospital all day. My little girl’s like her daddy–she doesn’t have a high tolerance for pain, and this will be the worst sore throat of her life (I still remember when I had mine taken out).
In exchange, she gets a week off of school, all the ice cream she wants, and (for being so brave) a new MP3 player filled with her favorite tunes (stuff from Hannah Montana, lots of Bob Marley, The Jonas Brothers, Queen, The Naked Brothers Band, a little Elvis, some Beatles, some Barlow Girl, a few tunes from the Dixie Chicks, some of the Enchanted soundtrack, and one tune from The Marshall Tucker Band–she has a pretty eclectic ear).
Not too bad of a trade…
