We went to Urgent Care because Cutie was up much of the night crying and pulling on her ear.

After the doctor pulled and prodded and poked around he declared that, yes indeed, Cutie had an ear infection. He wrote some notes, circled some things, asked a few more questions, then turned to me and asked/spelled if she could have an L-A-L-I-P.

"Sure, she can have a lollipop," I answered, thinking, "I hope he spells the names of the prescriptions just slightly more accurately."
