Innocence

[pulling out stickers to bribe the patient into letting me listen to her heart]
Hi Annabelle! I'm Michelle, and I'm going to start your checkup today. Is that okay with you?

ANNABELLE
[choosing a Finding Nemo sticker]
Um, okay!

ME
[looking at chart]
Oh my goodness, was it your birthday yesterday?

ANNABELLE
YUP!!!!

ME
And how old did you turn?

ANNABELLE
FIVE!!!

ME
Ooh, how exciting! What did you do to celebrate?

ANNABELLE
I saw Tooth Fairy!

ME
You saw the tooth fairy!?

ANNABELLE
Not the real one, silly. The movie.

ME
Ooooh. Haha. How was it? The Rock is in that, right?

ANNABELLE
Yeah. Eh, it was okay. He wasn't really believable.

ME
Oh really? Was his acting bad?

ANNABELLE
Nah - pink just doesn't look good on him.
