ROFL! What a great way to start off my day! Thanks for sharing your cute little flash fiction piece that me back to being a boy, when I've actually seen that picture before. :-)

Ha! I like Ryan's train of thought - he only wants to deal with the best. He's a discerning customer already at such a young age. Thanks for the share! :)

the image does look like an image from Norman Rockwell
humorous poem
the word count is accurate
there is a punch line; always remember to dress after the doctor leaves the room

Well-crafted, Mystery Writer!
And a fine question from an inquisitive young man!
I'd want to know the answer as well before I was jabbed in my behind!
Loved the humor in your 50-word story!

Best Wishes!

Kids will ask the craziest things, and it is always funny. I am left wondering how the doctor responded to the question he was posed. Maybe next time Ryan comes in he has a new certificate on the wall.

Humorous image and a fun 50 word story to complement it. A nice piece of dialogue from Ryan in the vernacular which added to the charm of the post. Well done and good luck! Debbie

This is cute! And in today's highly specialized medical world, I am guessing there might be someone that has that specialty. I wonder if that's before or after the vaccination. Best wishes in the contest!

This is an excellent flash story for the contest.
Most kids have had a similar experience, but the butt specialist
line is creative addition.
Nicely done.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes.
Robert.

This is a great take on the old Norman Rockwell.

One catch:
Are you a butt specialist?" Ryan answered. This don't say."
( " before the word This)

Good luck in the competition!
