Kids, Gatta Love Them

Ok, so here is my totally humiliating story with my daughter in the Dr’s office.  A few months ago we were having trouble with our central air.  So with all the information you can handle on the internet my husband and I started googling to find out how to fix it.  Our 4 year old daugher came with us, and I didn’t think twice about it.  So while she was watching we clicked on a link relating to our problem.  At the same time we got hit with something because a bunch or porn poped up.  My daughter sees all these pics, my husband is trying to get everything shut down fast, but it is too late, my daughter turns and asks me “Why are those girls doing that mommy?”  Now I thought I would be smart right here and I said “Honey it’s because those girls do drugs, and when you do drugs, you do really stupid things”  End of conversation, she said she understood and I thought ”Great, I am the coolest mom EVER!  I just handles something that most parents wouldn’t know how to deal with, I am AMAZING”  She never says another word about it, so I assume it is forgotten. 

So fast forward to about 1 month later.  My kids are sick and I took them to the Dr.  He examines them and tells me “they both have a lot of pressure in there ears and I am worried their eardrums will rupture.  I am going to put them on something.  Let me go get it.”  So my daughter hears this and as soon as the Dr leaves the room, she starts freaking out.  She covers her ears, closes her eyes, starts crying hysterically, and screaming at the top of her lungs “I DON’T WANT TO BE ON DRUGS, I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE THE GIRLS ON THE COMPUTER, I DON’T WANT TO BE STUPID MOMMY”  She is so upset that she is trying to vomit, she has asthma, and she was boarderline having an asthma attack, and I could not calm her down.  She wouldn’t listen to me, and just kept screaming this saying over and over.  The Dr comes back in and is absolutely astonished at what he is seeing.  He shoots me a look when he hears her say she doesn’t want to be like the girls on the computer, ya know the look.  The one that says what the hell do you watch infront of your children.  He sits down with her and tells her he would never put her on drugs, this is medicine that would make her feel better.  After a good 5 min of hysteria, she finally calms down.  The Dr turns to me and I had to tell him the story, he started laughing and told me I was in really good shape, because from what he just saw, she would never do any drugs or porn.  So he hands her the brown paper bag that has the medicine in it, and we leave.  We get out to the waiting room, and while we are checking out she holds up the brown paper bag in the packed waiting room, tears still streaming down her cheecks, and announces “This is not drugs, this is medicine to make me feel better.  My Dr would never put me on drugs because drugs make you stupid, and he doesn’t want me to act like the girls on the computer.”  To which every person in the waiting room and the office staff gave me the look.  I grabbed my kids and got the hell out of there!!!
