Dentists and good ideas

Two funnies rolled into one entry:

As Todd and I were driving back to LA after church, he realized that he'd left Pokie and Blue behind! Since it was too late to turn around, I told him that Daddy and I could just bring it along with us when we stopped by Opa and Oma's house next week.

To my surprise, this not only satisfied him, but he deemed it more than acceptable:

"That sounds good. That's a good idea".

Since when did he become the judge of what's a good idea and what's not? ;-)

As part of that same conversation, I explained to him *why* we were coming to LA that weekend-- the whole family had semi-annual dentist appointments that day. The same dentist that Todd and I had visited a few times in the past. Todd digested this bit of news, and then proclaimed:

"Daddy's never been to the dentist!"

Well, Daddy's never been to THIS particular dentist. But close enough-- it HAS been a few years since his last checkup. Naughty Daddy!
