Doctor's offices always suck. They especially suck when they keep on telling you you're dying, pretty sweet. I saw a little kid the other day with cancer in a doctor's office, and the keep telling him he's dying. Of course, they don't really tell him that. They say things like "You're really sick buddy." or "You just keep staying strong". But, I think, he knows. I think this, because he's always scared. He sees the way his mom always cries after going to the doctor. The way people keep treating him differently. He can tell somethings wrong, and just by seeing his scared little face, I can tell he knows its him.
So hearing going to the doctor for him must really suck.
Blue probably used to be one of his favorite colors, ever little boy is forced into liking blue since their born, but the doctor's office is blue, so I bet he doesn't like it that much anymore. In the waiting room they have really nice chairs, but he looks really uncomfortable in them. The trucks are all lined up for him to play with and crash crash crash into each other, but his mom looks unhappy and he knows the noise might make her not smile. So he sits there, looking all around at all the big people, and he's scared. All the big people are looking at him too, but they know what's wrong, they feel bad for him, they want to cry for him.
And all he wants to do is for everyone to smile, and for him not to be scared anymore.
He can't do that though, because the nurse is about to say his name, and give that fake happy "you'll be just fine" smile, and he gets that everytime, and now he knows that he obviously won't be "just fine".
