Anyone want to tell me why it is that a four year old is absolutely terrified of an otoscope but has no problem sitting still for a blood draw? Anyone?

Getting shots are familiar but he's never seen an otoscope before?

I explained to him that I was just going to look in his ear. Showed him how it worked. His mother laughed when the whelp got me in the groin.
