Curiosity

It was early one morning, and I had just reminded Purring Piggy that I had a fasting blood draw that morning, when The Queen came over and started asking questions. "They're taking your blood? Why? Does it hurt?...." After a while, I thought I had satisfied her curiosity, and though to her the situation appeared grave and even disgusting, she left. A couple minutes later, though, she came back with her huge eyes wide, and asked solemnly: "Will they take all your blood?" And at that, Purring Piggy and I could not help but burst into laughter.
