Bella: It feels like monkeys are banging in my ears. Those monkeys are punching my brain.
Me: What should I do about it?
Bella: You should punch those monkeys back.
Me: Do you think that the medicine the doctor gave you will make the monkeys go away?
Bella: No, I took the medicine and they won't go away. That medicine tastes yucky, so I think I will just punch them back and then, maybe they will stop hurting my ears.
The doctor confirmed it, Bella has monkeys in her ears....she has a middle ear infection in both ears. For the first time in 5 years, Bella is taking an antibiotic. She has never taken any prescription medicine before, ever.
Bella would like to report that the medicine "tastes yucky"....even coated in bubble gum flavoring....
I am thankful for IMAGINATION.....and for the pediatrician that played along. I guess we will have to bring her a bundle of bananas!
Bella-
ReplyDeleteI agree it tastes gross. Better than the Monkey drool though if they hang out for much longer though.
Poor Bella and Poor mommy! But kudos to you for avoiding antibiotics until now! Hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh man. yucko.
ReplyDeleteBella- anything bubble gum flavored that is medicine is YUCK! I'm sorry you have monkeys in your head. :(
Mommy- Does fighting monkeys count as exercise? If so, I would take that up and then write it off as exercise, and then go eat a brownie or cookie as a reward for exercising. I'm just sayin', that's what I would do. :)
Thanks for stopping by. love your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive! First time in 5 years. Incredible. You must come from some great stock. :) Hope the monkeys stop soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope Bella feels better soon!!
ReplyDeleteTell her that while the bubble gum medicine tastes yucky to her, the monkeys love it and go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteHope she gets better soon!
Oh poor thing! I hope Miss Bella gets to feeling better!
ReplyDelete"No more monkeys jumping on the head!" (or bed) as the song goes. Daddy shot them. We shot them with Drugs!
