Peter was commenting tonight that he'll get a shot the next time he goes to the doctor for a checkup (which, yes, is not till April, but hey, why not start obsessing early?), but he couldn't remember which shot it was.
It is, in fact, the new tetanus/diptheria/pertussis shot, or the Tdap; he's 10 so he'd need a tetanus booster anyway, but this is some super-duper vaccine that'll keep you from getting sick ever again. Or something like that!
Anyway, I'm bad with names, particularly when they're acronyms for things and I can't remember the components (aside: the reason I can remember that the pcm/cia slot on a computer is called that is because someone once taught me the mnemonic People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms!).
So, yes, when he asked me which shot, my response was, "Oh, the tetanus one, I forget what it's called. Tdap? Tbap? Dbap? TBopDeBop?"
At which point Peter said, "So, I'm getting the Jazz shot?"
Yeah, daddy-o, and ain't it cool?
