When she’s 16 she’ll kill me for this but I’m going to discuss my daughter and her most recent health issue…
I was led to believe that she’s got a UTI simply because in the span of an hour (on the football field with no potty insight) she screamed that she had to pee three times.
I started probing and asking questions…
I finally said, “Sam, I’m taking you to the doctor… I think you’ve got a UTI”
She screamed “NO! I’m not going to the doctor! They’ll stick a huge needle in my belly!” and started crying.
Dumbfounded, I looked at her and said, “No, silly… you just have to pee in a cup…” which, is what every kid LOVES to do, right?
“No they won’t… I saw them do it to JJ and Highway this summer when they had infections. They stick a big needle in your belly and suck the pee out.”
Finally, it made sense. She’d been to the Vet with my mother this summer.
“The dog and the cat cannot pee in a cup so they have to get it that way. The only way they’ll stick a needle in your belly is if you can’t pee in a cup.”
She looked at me, with a somewhat pained expression on her face… “Well that’s not really fair Mom… they didn’t let Highway and JJ even try before they whipped that big old needle out.”
After calming her down, she’s quite excited to get to pee in the cup this afternoon…
Because that’s what life is all about right? The simple pleasures…. 
Until next time…

Aren’t teenage girls so funny sometimes? And yes, she’s going to die when she finds out you blogged about her.
LOL! Callie was so excited the first time she peed in a cup, she kept wanting to do it at home — uh, no! — because Mommy didn’t think it was that funny that she had to hold the cup!
