This is kind of crazy, but the ones I remember where the ones when another kid or kids were watching. I got RT till I was about 9. My older sister and sometimes a friend of hers would watch me get an RT across my moms lap. If my aunt was over with my cousins and I was ill mom took my rectal temp in living room as to leave our company alone, crazy stuff you remember. I was embarrassed some, but not as bad as some might think.

I can remember almost every occurence of having my rectal temperature taken after about age 4. I remember at home, I didn't mind it so bad because mom was gentle. But it's the trips to the children's clinic that I remember hating. I got really nervous just as soon as I figured out where we were. I always started crying the instant the nurse raised my legs, because I knew she was about to make my butt hurt with that "long stick with the shiny tip." When she plunged it in I winced because it felt like she stuck it all the way up through my liver. I cried my eyes out and my mom tried to comfort me. But all I could think about was how uncomfortable that thermometer was, and when my butthole was going to stop hurting. It felt like an eternity then, but the feeling doesn't seem to last long enough now when my wife does it.
