In reply to: jeff 's message, "temperature procedure" on Sunday, December 19, 2010, 03:22: pm
 If I was in the bathroom, I laid across a lap, usually naked. If I was in bed, I laid on my tummy and was bare for the duration. Mom and dad rarely held the thermometer, Grandma always did. Grandma also kept me in bed naked from the waist down, in part to keep me in bed and also to make further temperature checks easier.

At the doctor's office, we went over (grand)parent/aunt/uncle/cousin's lap or bent over the side of the exam table for RTs - our choice. Also, were I grew up, it was usual for us to undress completely once in the exam room, so we were naked. (When my parents, sister and I moved to a city, the nurse and doctor were quite surprised to find my sister and I naked. After our mom explained why, they said that was not how things were done there.)

At home, those of us old enough to dress ourselves were expected to bare our own bottoms for RTs, though we were often naked around the house, anyway, so seeing each other naked was normal for us (me, my sister and our cousins).

Snow,
Weren't you embarrassed to be over an uncle's or cousin's lap for a RT?

No. Nor my sister nor any of my cousins that I can recall. It was that way as far back as I can remember. Nudity was common among the adults as well, at least in the evenings. My family is down-to-earth and nature oriented (but not Luddites - we love technology).
