*** I was gonna say that! :)

Sorry.:D:D:D

:mad: No me gustan las inyecciones porque me hacen daño cuando me clavan la aguja :eek: :mad:

¿La aguja de la jeringuilla hipodérmica también es "needle"?

Yeah. Also a needle. A hypodermic needle.
Pines also have needles instead of leaves.

Just one little word you forgot.

La palabra más corta:)

The needle in the bed.

in the bed? :confused:

Well, maybe on the bed.

When I was about 5 years old, my grandma who did all the darning on the bed left a needle on the bed. When I jumped onto the bed at bedtime, the needle became embedded in my knee. It had to be surgically removed.

I will always remember that......:sad:

¡Pobrecita! :eek: :sad:

Why is "on" the bed instead of "in"? I mean, uno está en la cama, dentro de la cama, tapado con las sábanas, colcha, etc. I thought it was "in" the bed". Wouldn't be "on" the bed for something that is over it (a cushion, for instance) :thinking:

Cuando te vas a la cama a dormir.........you are in bed (no "the")

Las chinches.......are in the mattress

Tu ropa está sobre la cama ...... your clothes are on the bed

I guess a needle could be on or in depending on its location.

Thanks a lot, Elaina :) (I'll try to remember ;) )
