Cough, colds and the dentist
I have the cough and the colds. I hate the cough and the colds. They make me cranky.
Worst, I had to go to the dentist. She wanted to do some drilling.
“Do you floss regularly?” she asked.
“I do,” I said. “Once a week.”
My dentist called her assistant. She wanted to make sure my chart reads: “Patient does not listen to dentist.”
I should tell my 3-year old about this. It’s a lesson, I think.
“Daddy, are you sick?”
“What?”
“Sick,” my 3-year old said, pointing to my runny nose.
“Oh,” I said. “Yes, I am.”
“When I’m sick, I drink lots and lots of water,” he said.
Uh-huh.
“When Mommy’s sick, she drinks lots and lots of water,” he added.
Okay.
“How about your little brother?” I asked, referring to my 1-year old.
“He drinks lots and lots of milk.”
“How about Daddy?”
My 3-year old gave me the look. Then he said: “You drink lots and lots of Coke.”
Hmm. I think I just got scolded by a 3-year old, don’t you think?

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Your son is already learning the art of scolding without actually scolding! Brilliant! Hope you're feeling better soon. Maybe you should drink some water? LOL!

Eek. Coke = bad for your teeth! That's the stuff I get to learn for marrying a man who has a dental hygenist for a mom and sister.
Yay? :)
