Shots

I really don't understand why you can't just give them to me. I'm good with needles. Piercings, tattoos, vaccinations--makes no difference to me. Bring it on.

I mean, I breastfeed him. Isn't breast milk supposed to be some magical elixir of life, healing all ills, and righting wrongs and shit? Can't you put the vaccine mojo in the milk?

No?

Well then, I'll have you know that the student midwife who poked my baby with a needle when he was not even 24 hours old managed to go about her business without his face getting all tomato-red and pain-screaming. At very least, you could give him the shots without jamming them into his leg like you're going to punch him with the needle.

Pick on someone your own size.
