I remember being 5, maybe 6 years old; and my excitement & relief & trepidation at standing in a long line of kids to get my polio vaccine (this would have been in the late 1960s). Excitement and relief that I would get this shot and be free from the risk of contracting polio, which I already knew enough about to know was horrible. Trepidation at facing the needle; but because I was a Big Girl about shots even then, but I'm still not all *that* Big Girl about them.
And then the "shot" turned out to be a sugar cube! That was a pretty great day in 6-year-old-me life.
