I had to go to the Dentist this morning, which is not my favorite thing to do. In fact, I would rather dodge traffic on a busy day, than go to the Dentist. But today, I went to a new Dentist and after about 5 minutes of talking and poking around in my mouth he informs me that I have a small cavity. Seriously? I am 36 and never had a cavity before in my life. Who was he to tell me this? I mean, I guess that since he is the Dentist, he probably knows what he is talking about. But 15 minutes later, as we are wrapping up, I asked about when I should bring the boys in. He suggested that when they turn 2 or a little older, have them come in and watch, so that they can see that it isn’t a scary place (granted, this coming from the guy that told me that I had to have a filling because of said cavity). We have started brushing the boys teeth already, which is loads of fun. I can only imagine the trip to the Dentist being about as bad.
As I drove to work this morning, I thought that the only thing that would make my day a little better after leaving the Dentist, was stopping to pick up a bag of Candy Corn Pumpkins.
