Due to a strange set of coincidences, I once had to have blood drawn at the Children's Hospital.
Now usually, I am one of the poor, dizzy, bruised hard sticks (because I have wiggly veins and the ones that look good in my arms are actually the worst). I have learned to preemptively warn them off the siren veins, ask for butterflies, suggest my hand, etc.
The phlebo at Children's, however, looked at my arm and chirped with glee "Oh, that's the biggest target I've had all day! And you're not screaming!". Then she nailed the worst one bullseye on her first shot.

I keep that memory in my Happy Place.
