Our trip to the dentist...a Jennah story
I took Jennah to the dentist today for her 6 month cleaning. NO cavities!! Yea! At her dentist, they have the dental chairs in one room. There are four of them lined up and they have two dentists that work at the same time while the kids are tipped back and watching the tv's on the ceiling! It's really neat. The only thing is you can hear and see the other kids being worked on. Now, mind you they don't do any major mouth work in this room, that type of stuff is done in the private rooms. Anyway, (and here comes the funny part) Jennah was sitting there waiting and listening to the mom next to us who I will say was being and absolute witch. The poor girl, her mom was almost to the point of yelling at her about how the girl brushes her teeth, how they're going to rot and fall out and really harping on her about not flossing twice a day, etc. I asked how old the girl was and the mom told me she was 7. Ok, SEVEN and she expects her to be flossing twice a day and brushing for two minutes, etc. I've got to remind Jennah to brush her teeth (she does do it) but I'm not getting in her face about it in public! Sheeeeeessss ssevvvennnn! Anyway, Jennah turns to the girl and says "You know you really have to brush your teeth right or your mom is going to cut your corn off the cob if you don't." Of course, I immediately said "Jennah!" to her and she looked at me and said in that kid kind of way "what mom, it's true." I didn't say anything to Jennah after that but I did think to myself -Honestly Jennah, I don't think she needed any of your advice along with her mom getting on her case. But then, I laughed my a$$ off because the way Jennah said it to her = so very funny! I'm sure the corn story comes from the fact that when Jennah lost her two front teeth, we had to cut her corn off the cob for her but still, she's hilarious!
