Things that make you go "hmmmm" or Say what???!!!! Pt 3

Don't want to ask!

Maybe the 13 year old is stretching the truth to her classmates?

Yeah I'm thinking that's probably the case

She is not the type.

hmmm so then the alternative is that she really is dating at 13? geez

I am SO happy I do not have daughters!

What we don't know is if the parents know.

Mom: Dr. Dentist -- are you SURE you want to pull my 8 year old son's teeth in your office with just the needle numbing type anesthetic? Shouldn't he be sleeping or at least drowsy? My mom says he would do better at an oral surgeon and in a more controlled environment.

Dr. Dentist: No worries mom. I do this all the time. Routine procedure. Baby teeth. Got to make room for those teeth coming up behind. He will do fine. No need for the oral surgeon.

Mom: But he is eight. Those teeth aren't loose. If there is a problem, he will fear the dentist forevermore and he may struggle during the procedure. THERE WILL BE BLOOD AND HE WILL BE AWAKE! My mother has been calling me and is feeling strongly about the oral surgeon. She will pay if insurance denies.

Dr. Dentist: No worries. He will do fine. You tell your mother we have it all under control. Routine.

later that evening......

Mom: Mom, the dentist says he can do it. We trust him and you are worrying for nothing. We have made our decision. No, we won't reconsider. Mom, you raised your kids and now it is our turn. I will call you after the procedure is over. We promised dear grandson a new video game if he is brave. We will take him for it after the dentist. It is a routine procedure.

Fast Foward a few days......

Mom: MOM! Mommy, it's me. I am in the oral surgeon's waiting room with dear hubby and newborn baby! Mom! Dr. Dentist pulled one tooth but the other wouldn't come out mom! He had to stop and we rushed dear grandson over here. The oral surgeon has him back in surgery now! I will call you tonight mom to let you know how he is. Don't worry mom -- it is all under control.

Why are they pulling an 8 year olds teeth?

My son got rear ended the other day while at a red light...and off duty policeman with wife and child...got out of his car very apologetically...son said "what the heck happened" cop said..."I was reaching for my phone"

At least he was honest.
I just got my car back, it took 7 weeks for the insurance to send me a check, then have the repairs done.

Good for the officer who admitted wrongdoing!

Jen - this kid had PERFECT first set teeth. Picture book - top and bottom. But...the teeth were tight and no spaces between. Great for second teeth but dentist said not so great for first teeth which should have spaces. Sure enough --- as the second came in the first did not fall out. It was like he was growing a second row of teeth on the bottom. The two pulled -- not the four side by side in the bottom front ---but the the right and left that flank those four (Like where the vampire's bottom fangs go) BEHIND those teeth - literally in the floor of the mouth it seems are the 2nd set coming up. The dentist said that if those baby teeth didn't fall soon --the second set likely would not move forward. The first two never got loose and the second set were halfway up. So out they came -- sort of -- as you have read.

Hope he's feeling OK Rosie! Not pleasant.....heading for dentist today, but only for cleaning....

Yes they will pull teeth from an 8 year old to a 14 year old. Trust me I know.

thanks robin
I guess i will give a call tonight - hard to from work. I saw the photos of the aftermath in the mouth - eeech!
8 is awfully young - just the needle is scary but the entire extraction with nothing to take the edge off mentally

I prescribe an ice cream diet for the patient, a smack in the head for the dentist and a nice flower arrangement for your Mother.

Ice cream - done (but i think it is water based ice)
dentist --- well -----
and the flowers -- I'd gladly trade those for a little more 'paying attention to what mamma says ---she's been there' from the kids! I think they think I run around saying 'the sky is falling!! the sky is falling!'

Just got a Fall merchandise catalog today...nice! just in time for the 90° weather

Allison is starting on the Halloween decorations...

98 degrees here and no rain in sight and if I try to water after work, I will be eaten alive.
It gets dark.....the clouds appear......but no rain.

Yay for Halloween decorations! ;)

I am the same way, mr. I'll get out there in the morning tomorrow.

Fields down the road from us, usually has soybeans but I guess it was cover crops(very short looked like mini wheat, I know nothing about field crops) that they were cutting down, there was a bunch of Hisitic Jews in full garb from NY and PA in there today walking thru the fields and watching the combine do it's work, we've been here almost 8 years and never saw that before

Don't Hasidic Jews dress all in black? Must have been unbearable in that heat.....

That was the thought that crossed my mind, too. HOT, HOT, HOT

YES....and LONG sleeves!!! and the priest was there in full dress

hubby says they were probably there to make it kosher

Just received kids' teachers' supply letters today...come on!!!!! It's still JUNE!!!

We always had it tucked in with the end of year report card.

really? How did they even know the teacher was going to be there in September?

Same supplies no matter the teacher. Then, in Sep, the teacher might tweak it.

ohhhh, ok

Yes, I am sick. When I fertilized with Shake 'n Feed the other day, I visualized breasts. Sorry, but it just popped into my head.

All I heard was "chocolate shake."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Luke, my 6 yr old grandy had some pecan pie the other day for the first time. He said he really liked it 'cept for the nuts, but he really liked the appley stuff. No more pecan pie for him if he's gonna pick off the nuts. I am sure his dad will eat his share.

I will eat his share!

Pecan pie ???

Where does the line form for people who don't mind "leftovers"?

I ain't afraid o' crumbs in the pie tin, neither!

Peach pie is my fav.....

Sounds like it is a fave of many.

My grandy Hope is awesome! She told me to type that! Heehee.

I like pie....but hard to find good tasting gluten free pie...have to go to down to a bakery rated one of the best in NJ she has a whole line of gluten free

This one came from Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck.

Do you have to go far for that bakery?
