Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 26, 2016

Did Linus miss the school announcement of why to queue up for the nurse?

Linus is the kind of guy whom doctors hate at parties (lawyers, too — people are always asking for free legal advice)!

I should follow Linus’s strategy. I always need to wait for a long time in the doctor’s office to get attended. Just hope you don’t get any shots. The last two times I ended up with amateurs, and what negligence they caused!

I’m not sure what kinda nurse they have here, but in our area, they hire RNs who just wanna slow down after years of doing hard work. So they know quite a lot.

When I’m at the doctor, I try to mention everything I can think of to tell him, no matter how small. It never hurts to ask, right?

5 seems a little surprised at Linus’s comments…

I notice 5 has his name embroidered on his T-shirt.

I used to hate weighing day, because I was a big girl for my age and the nurse would weigh you, measure your height and then call out the numbers to the teacher, who would write them down. And everyone could hear what you weighed. So I would get an exagerrated gasp from the whole class and the giggling would start. I wasn’t fat by any means, just bigger than most kids my age. And of course I got called Fatty for weeks after. There was another kid in class who was visibly fat, but then her dad was the Sherrif—she never came in for any teasing.

Linus has this terrible pain in all the diodes down his left side.

Nothing is free Linus…

I remember getting weighed at school when I was their age.

They had to send for some new scales.
