Dr Visit

Max has been complaining for a couple of weeks of his stomach hurting. So on Friday, we take him to the doctor. He explains to the doctor what all is happening and the goings on with his body. He proceeds to tell the doctor, "We are here to get to the bottom of what is going on with my body." Max is being very dramatic and VERY expressive. The doctor tells him he wants to take an xray of his stomach, Max agrees that is probably the right thing to do!

So, off Max goes to xray and when he comes back, he proceeds to tell us how safe radiation is and he is sure no harm will come to him from that machine. Explains to us the sounds the machine made and really there is no harm from having a xray taken (poor nurse, I am sure she had 100 questions thrown at her!) When the Doctor comes in, he looks at us and says, "Max is well, full of poop, that's a lot of what is going on."

Max says, "I forgot to tell you I swallowed gum on accident a couple weeks ago, did you see that or do you think I pooped it out already?"

The doctor explains that no he couldn't see it and told us and Max to eat more fruits and vegetables and food with more fiber. Max quizzes the doctor on healthy choices and tells him he really likes salad and will eat from the salad line at school three of the five days. THEN......

Max says, "Well, we were planning on eating Taco Bueno for lunch, that's a bit healthy for you. I was planning on eating fruits and vegetables there."

I am sitting there trying to contain my laughter, the doctor is smiling and listening, Max continues....

"See, I figure I would get a kid's meal and I would choose the taco. On my taco comes meat, which is fiber, lettuce which is a vegetable and tomato, which is a fruit. Now most people think tomatoes are vegetables, but really it is a fruit. So, that is what I plan for lunch, sound good Doctor?"

He laughs, and says, "Yes, I believe it is."
