Where is sore?

[Yourjones]

Hi,

When I am sure my daught has a pain somewhere on her body, should I ask "Where is the pain?", "Where is sore?" or "Where aches"? or else? Thanks.

"Where is the pain?" "Where is it sore?" These both work.

I'd leave out the 'in her body'.

'Where does it hurt?'

I'd also use:
What hurts?
Where does it hurt?

I used to say just "Stop whingeing. It'll go away"

;-)

(My parenting skills probably reached their low when my son, a born-again hypochondriac, was about sixteen. Just before school one day, he complained of pains in his stomach area, and said he thought he might have appendicitis. I, a qualified First Aider and St John Ambulanceman, prodded him a bit and told him to stop whingeing, go to school and take a laxative that evening. My wife phoned me at work later that day to say that he had been rushed to hospital from school with acute peritonitis.)

I think that should be in the dictionary as the definition of "Oops".
