Paging Dr. Feelgood

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I am very afraid of doctors. I always have been. I have developed a pain in my side, and it won't go away. I am afraid to go to the doctor, but I don't want to get sicker. What should I do?

- Mediphobic

You should call me. I'm a doctor, and I'm not scary. I'm nice. If you came to me, I would actually bring you to my Mama.

You can come over when I'm older, but first you have to go to a different doctor. The doctor would say, "don't worry," so you wouldn't feel scared. When I'm scared, I like to snuggle with Mama. Maybe you can snuggle with your Teddy.

We Bought a Zoo?

Dear Dr. Sadie,

My family and I are starting a zoo. We are looking to start some really spectacular exhibits to bring people in. What are three animals that we should get to start our zoo?

- Dr. Do-a-little-more-than-a-little

A Bird, a bear, a lion.

You should get a bird because a bird flaps around. People like that. You should get a parrot. They are very colorful.

You should get a bear because it roars. People like that, too. It's also brown and very pretty.

You should get a lion because a lion is ferocious. People like ferocious animals.

At this zoo, you should dress all your animals as camels. Camels have bumps on their backs. Bumps are funny. (singing) Ba bump. Ba bump. Ba bump ba bump ba bump.

What Cave?

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I really like the song, "The Cave" by Mumford and Sons, but I can't figure out what it's about. What are they talking about in that song?

- Confused Mumford Fan

That song is about caves, silly. I like that they sing about caves, because I've never been in a cave before. The whole song is about caves and nothing else.

New Kid On The Block

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I have been going to the same school since I was little. This week, a new kid started. He's very shy, and he hasn't made any friends yet. What can I do to help him?

- Friendly Student

You can pick him up. That would help. Maybe the new kid is only shy of people that go to school. You could hold his hand and drive him home. He wouldn't be shy there. You could be his babysitter. Then you could be friends.
