Apple a day keeps the doctor away. Kid tries to keep the "doctor" away so as to avoid the shot. "Doctor" is actually a nurse and would be unaffected by the apple even if the supposed saying were true

TL;DR kid tries metaphor logic on wrong entity

Weird. It's dentist, in the UK. It didn't click that's what they were alluding to until I read your comment

What? That doesn't make any sense! Apples are FULL of sugar!!! Oh you Brits. Always doing things backwards. I remember when I visited London, and there I am, driving like normal on the correct side of the road......and there were issues.

I wonder why they drive backwards. Is it because they had cars before standardization?
