The nurse said to Timmy, "let's see how tall you are" and put him next to the measuring tape. "oh, you are tall! 23 inches." (50th percentile)

Then she said "let's see how smart you are" and measured his head. "Oh, you are very smart! 16 and 3/4 in." (95th perctentile)
Finally, she said "You're huge, let's see how much you weigh" and put him on the scale. "oh, wow...hmm ... eh ... (adjusting the weight) ... yep! 15 lbs!" (oh geez, that's how much someone twice your age weighs!)

Grandpa Ottomanelli (14 lbs, 15 oz.) and Grandma Wood (15 lbs, 1 oz) had the closest guesses.
Timmy let out a big sigh of relief ... made it!
oh, what's that you say?

SHOTS?!!

Luckily, he pulled through like a champ ... with a little help from a pacifier and super cool band-aids
