The Littlest Hypochondriac

Don't even think about brushing up against Stella. If you do, it may send her straight to the freezer... for an ice pack.

Or, if no ice pack is available, she has been known to use a bag of frozen vegetables.

You see, Stella is a world-class pint-size hypochondriac. Every scrape, scratch or bump will result in either an ice pack or a bandage. Then she will limp around or whine for a while. Until she forgets that she is supposedly hurt.

She'll even make up an infirmity if it'll help her in some way. Today she told the teachers at Beansprouts that "my mommy is a doctor and she would not want me to take karate if my knee was hurting". Oh brother.
