Cheek Shot Jarod Hickman

“Are you sure you're a real doctor?” Jim asked.

“Of course I am,” replied Dr. Fren. “Why would you think I wasn’t?”

Jim said, “Well, you're giving me a shot...”

“You need a shot to stay healthy” he asked interrupting me.

“The reason this is weird is because its on my butt,Dr. Fren!” Jim hollered.”I may just be eight years old, but I’m smart enough to realize that’s not where kids usually get shots!”

“Trust me, I am a certified doctor.” confirmed Mr. Fren. “Now just stand on that chair and pull down your pants just a little.”

Wow this guy is actually about to give me a butt shot

Does that diploma look real. What if he’s not a real doctor? But If he is, what if it’s the wrong shot? What if he’s an alien? What if I turn into an alien from the shot? If I do turn into an alien will I have to... “OOOOOWWWWWCCCCHHHHH!” screamed Jim. “ What was that?”

“While you were reading my diploma, I gave you the shot so you wouldn't run,” laughed Dr. Fren. “Now you can go back to your mom in the waiting room.”

“Okay,” Jim said, relieved.

“Wait, do you want a band aid for that?” snickered Dr. Fren.

Jim didn't answered but just ripped it out of his hand and stuck it on the tiny red dot left from the shot.

“Bye,” said Dr. Fren, “see you soon.”

“So, what happened?” his mom asked as he entered the waiting room.”

“My butt is numb,” Jim whimpered, “and i'm hungry.”
