The day was going awesome. I had food, watched sesame street, and hung out with Mommy. Then it happened. My mommy said it was time to see the doctor.
I was excited. My doctor is a funny little man that cracks jokes and knows how to make his patients laugh. I had no idea that this particular visit would be so horrible. Silly me.
We got there and everything went as usual. We sat in the waiting room, got called back, they checked my weight, and then I got to play with the doctor. All of this was very routine.
Then…she came in. The nurse. The one with the funny rubber ducky pajamas (very deceptive) and happy red hair. She smiled at me. I knew something fishy was going on when my mommy started to tell me everything was fine.
I looked for my lightsaber only to realize I had left it at home….big mistake.
Now, before you jump my case for being forgetful, you have to understand that this NEVER happens. My lightsaber is usually always with me hidden away in my invisible diaper hilt. But today…Mommy changed my clothes before we left and she distracted me from my only defense by tickling me. It was all part of a giant needle conspiracy.
This ducky wearing red head prepped her tools and held me down. In that instant, there was only one thing I could do. I warned her by bearing my teeth. I guess she thought I was smiling since I don’t actually have any teeth yet. But she was wrong.
First poke. I grunted and glared such an intense baby jedi glare that even Jabba himself would have coiled up in fear. But not her. Second poke came.
There was nothing I could do. I was helpless. A single baby jedi caught with his sleeper off. At this point. I only had once option. Crying.
As soon as he first tear rolled down my face my mommy as right there to pick me up and hug me. I felt weak needing assistance, but even a baby jedi such as myself needs a little help once and a while.
Next time, the nurse will feel the burn of my lightsaber…..

BabyJedi tip #5: Before going to the doctor, don’t forget your lightsaber or you might be fighting off needles with nothing but your gums.
