Re: [Friday]
[Misha smiled real sweet and real demure.] I finally understand that y'all been right all along. I ain't anything but a human boy, and there's no reason I got to be nuts like my momma. The medicine helps real fine. [And Misha, he reckoned that would be the end of this appointment. He was having to fight the desire to smile smug, but he knew he best be saving that for after.
Now, that damn nurse he wasn't expecting.
But Misha, he'd had blood drawn regular. Nothing ever came up real strange, and he reckoned that was on account of his momma. Or maybe it was something his daddy had in place. Whatever the reason, his blood was always mundane as could be.
Misha offered his arm with a smile sweet. It wasn't until he saw the vial that his eyes went saucers. And then there was deciding to do.
He drew his arm back, and he gave the doctor another sweet smile, real convincing.] I ain't got any need of liquid meds. I take pills real fine, and they work better on me.
