Bandaids
It was about two in the afternoon. A little girl sat on the examination table, kicking her legs. Her mother sat in a chair by the door of the room. The nurse had left, and they were waiting for the doctor.
The door opened and a man in a lab coat walked in. His name tag read "OISHI SHUICHIRO". He sat on the doctor's stool and scooted it over to the girl.
"Hi there. How are you feeling?" The girl sniffled.
"My arm hurts." Dr. Oishi smiled.
"I know. But we can fix that, and then you'll be able to go home. Okay?" The girl nodded.
"Good. Can I see your arm, please?" She held out her arm, which had a pink Hello Kitty bandaid on it. Dr. Oishi glanced at the girl's mother, who shrugged.
"What's this for?" His young patient frowned.
"It's to make my arm better." Dr. Oishi laughed.
"I don't think that's going to be enough, sweetie. You broke your arm. But how about we get you a pink cast?" The girl's eyes lit up and she nodded enthusiastically.
"Pink's my favorite color."
Dr. Oishi and her mother smiled.
