My son has been snacking for hours. He hardly ate all day, and is skinny as a rail, so no biggie.

Then, he decided he had something stuck in his teeth, and Must Have a Toothpick to get it out.

Guess what happened? Go ahead, guess.

Yeah, he poked his gum or something and pulled out a red-tipped toothpick.

That was twenty minutes ago. He’s fixated on it now. As I typed this, he walked up with a toothbrush and announced “I have a huge hole back there.” He will not accept that he will be okay, he’s afraid he’ll bleed to death if he doesn’t put a bandaid on it or something.

Double funny after my great fun at the dentist (and the answer is still no to any oral. Sorry).
