Archive for September, 2010

I don’t know why, but ever since I was a kid, we’d always have our six-month dentist appointments in September and March or April. We’ve continued that tradition with our kids, and we’re all thinking about a sign my dentist used to have above his chair that read:

“It only hurts if you’ve been bad.”

Nice, in Dr. Wright’s honor, I pass along these from Nancy in Orlando.
 

At the dentist’s office for oral surgery, I was handed a couple of forms to fill out. As I signed the first one, I joked with the receptionist, “Does this say that even if you pull my head completely off, I can’t sue you?” “No, that’s the next sheet. This one says you still have to pay us.” *** A woman phoned her dentist when she received a huge bill. “I’m shocked!” she complained. “This is three times what you normally charge.” “Yes, I know,” said the dentist. “But you screamed so loud, you scared away two other patients.” *** Dentist - “Try to relax. I’ll pull your aching tooth in five minutes.” Patient - “How much will this cost?” Dentist - “It`ll be $250.” Patient - “That much for just five minutes work?” Dentist - “Well, if you prefer, I can pull it out very slowly.” *** A husband and wife entered the dentist’s office. The wife said, “I want a tooth pulled. I don’t want gas or Novocain because I’m in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible.” “You’re a brave woman,” said the dentist. “Now, show me which tooth it is.” The wife turns to her husband and says, “Open your mouth and show him.”

Happy Fall! Okay, I realize it doesn’t technically start for a couple weeks, but who doesn’t agree Fall starts the day after Labor Day?

Hope you had a great three-day weekend to close out summer. With “labor” still on my mind, I couldn’t help but share this one with all the moms out there.

Thanks to reader Erinn in Chicago for taking me down memory lane … so to speak …

When I was a mother’s helper, the mom of the family I worked for sat with her three oldest children and watched a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. The mom thought it would be a good starting point for answering questions about the facts of life. As her five-year-old studied the baby coming out of the birth canal, he asked, “Mom, does that hurt?” “Oh, yes, it does,” she said, remembering her difficult deliveries. “Wow,” he continued in awe, “does it hurt the mother too?”

Mmm hmm. Sounds just like my youngest. He would totally ask that question too, Erinn! Happy Fall, everyone! Time to start seeing Halloween merchandise in the stores, which means it’s time to stock up on cavity ammunition! Please visit our friends at Epic Dental before it’s too late!
