We have had dental insurance for over a year and "finally" (Nick hates that word) got a call to get appointments and they had one for me today as a cancellation so I opted to go and took Emily with me. OH BOY. She was totally bored. We had our little talk before we went in. She filled in the Highlights order forms in the magazines in the waiting room and then asked a million and one questions in the dental asst. area.
At one point she said, why are you getting blood from my Grannies teeth? I quickly chimmed in, because your Granny doesn't floss like she should. Right away, she said, well Grampa flosses AND he brushes his teeth with an electric toothbrush!!!
I had to laugh to myself. The dental hygenist was no doubt snickering behind that mask that Emily asked WHY WAS SHE WEARING IT - and then Emily told her it was so she wouldn't spit on her Granny.
I was so very thankful to have my teeth cleaned today. She will remember our visit to the dentist and no doubt will tell her classmates, her Granny bled at the dentist cause she don't floss like she should. Oh well, maybe after Granny stops working 2 jobs and going to school, she MIGHT find time to floss.
Side note, I did see some guy driving down the four-lane flossing the other day. That was safe. Multi-tasking at it's best! Floss away buddy boy! Your next visit to the dentist will be rewarding - if you get there!

Ugh..the dentist is the worst!!!
I was laughing and spitting on myself while I was reading this about Emmie. Oh you just got to love her brillant mind. She is a great combo of Mike and Sissy for sure.
yes, the analytical part of Mike's mind and the outspoken part of Sissy. She is a hoot!
