Busted Teeth and Green Beans. What?

As Angie and Ciera spent 5 hours at the UNC School of Dentistry today (fun Mothers Day, right?), I was home alone with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

While the dentist on call was giving Ang some song and dance about how it would be 30 to 60 days before Ciera's tooth could be filled, I was doing laundry and emptying the dish washer.

After Angie called me to tell me what was happening, and I railed about how they just wanted to use Ciera as a teaching tool for the students, Trot was emptying the contents of the Tupperware container with the green beans in it on our kitchen floor. ALL OVER the kitchen floor, while Rakes ran around in the background yelling "I'm Davy Jones! See my bullwhip, Dad?" (He watched the Indiana Jones movies all weekend, and is now obsessed with him; all I can say is at least it's not Star Wars).

I'm glad to say we found a dentist who will actually fill her tooth in so she won't be embarrassed to go to school, and they'll do it tomorrow. Also, I cleaned the green beans up and installed a zip lock on the fridge. Yes, I locked the refridgerator; what would you do?

Oh, and Trot looks EXACTLY like a deer in the headlights when I'm blowing my top; it's really uncanny.

3 more days.

3 more days.

Three more days to what? What's going on in three days? Is there something of importance happening? What is it? Why haven't I heard? did I miss something? What gives? What's up with 3 days?

Ted D said...

Bite me, Newt.

And see if I bring YOU back a Wally doll.

I thought fridge locks were mandatory until they were at least Ciera's age.

Bit of a bugger with the filling (crowning?). You can understand a young lady being a tad sensitive about looking like she nearly lost a baby tooth again:)

Three days to Ted comatose in coach. Have the FAA been informed?

HorshamScouse said...

Speaking (as you were) of mouth guards, you must find a way of making them sound cool. Looking cool is going to be harder, especially if, like Ben's guard for Rugby, the only colour available is blue:(

Ted D said...

Horsham, the locks will be mandatory from now on. And yes, I agree for a young lady not having your front teeth is a big deal.

Good news; the dental clinic could see her first thing, so her and her Mom are there now, hopefully getting it fixed.

And yes, I've notified the FAA. God help the poor flight attendant who gets my section to work. ;)

That might not be a bad idea to put a safety lock on my fridge as Sierra's starting to turn doorknobs and pull drawers. We just safety locked a bunch of things this weekend, we might need some more...

Ted D said...

Unless you want green beans on all over your floor, get the lock Redbeard.

Hmmm... We had any open-able surface locked when I did daycare. It was just... easier that way. ;-) I am thinking Francona probably runs the vast majority of his clubhouse like that too. =P

Ted D said...

LOL Dawn! Imagining Francona running the clubhouse like that isn't exactly far fetched. ;)

I dont know what you're so upset about a little dirt on green beans...i mean the beans were in the ground when they were growing where dirt is.

three more days?? have you called to see if your airline has closed? ;)

Ted D said...

It wasn't dirt, silly. It was green bean juice EVERYWHERE.

You're a comedian, you know it? ;)

Tex said...

who the heck has green bean juice in their house?? Since when did ya go all organic??

Im funny?? Can I get paid?

Ted D said...

::shakes head::

Tree Newt said...

You know they have to lock Manny out of the fridge. The munchies and all that, you know.

Ted D said...

Good point, Manny.

But he doesn't exhibit any of the classic symptoms. Weird behavior, not making any sense.....

Wait a minute.

Tex said...

at this time 4 days from now...we'll be sitting in the bleachers at Fenway :)

Ted D said...

WOOT!!!!!!!!!
