n addition, the nine year old boy living with extended family may be mandated to have his temperature taken rectally with or without his consent or approval. He may even express a strong objection at having his temperature taken in his "butt", which underscores his knowledge that rectal temperatures are reserved for a five year old boy and that he is not allowed the privilege that his peers in the household enjoy of having their temperatures taken in their mouths. However, his protests and complaints, even while the his temperature is being taken, would need to be dismissed by his caretaker and can lead to scolding him about not acting his age and signify to him why the glass thermometer is which would used to further justify why the glass rectal thermometer is planted in his rear end. On the other hand, the caretaker may also respond to his protests by informing him of benefits in getting his temperature taken in his “rear end”, such as “the thermometer feels a lot more comfortable there than you mouth” and with “the thermometer inside your rear end you can talk all you want”.
