The Dental Assistant

This is the way to visit the dentist...my kids went for cleanings yesterday and our awesome dentist, Dr. G. let the kids have a bit of fun while he took care of their teeth.  Becca and Dylan were his assistants for the visit and when Dylan learned he had a cavity and endured a huge needle, drill and numb lip, he got to pick out five toys from the treasure chest.  

Funny, but when I used to go to the dentist as a kid, they had to strap me down to the chair in a strait jacket - no joke - they actually did that to me once when I didn't want to endure yet another painful drilling experience. Lucky for my kids, they've got a dentist who knows exactly how to keep them occupied and happy while taking care of business.    

The Presidential Debate

3rd Grade Language Arts Homework by Rebecca Feldman

Assignment: Use the words divergent, career, humble, boastful, humility and memorable in a sentence:

My mom and dad have divergent views of who should be the next president. My mom is voting for Hillary Clinton and my dad is definitely not. My mom admires her career and things she is a humble woman. However, my dad thinks she is a boastful person who lacks humility. I don’t know who will be president this year but the election will be a memorable one.

The Eyes Have It

Overheard at the Ice Rink... Dad to precocious daughter... "I just saw what you did and you better cut it out or we're not going ice skating today." "How did you see me daddy, you weren't even looking at me?" "I have eyes in back of my head." "Oh no you don't, only Mommy does."

Overheard in the Bathroom...

"Mommy, why do I have to go the ladies room if I'm a boy?"

"Because I don't go to the men's room," that's why.

"But what about when I'm eight, can I go to the boy's room by myself?"

"Maybe."

"What about when I'm twenty? Can I got to the bathroom by myself then?"

"Yes and I probably won't be with you to take you to the bathroom when you're that age."

"Well, what about when I'm your age mommy? Will you take me to the bathroom then?"

"By the time your my age, you'll be taking me to the bathroom."
