pop quiz













is this:

a) a moondust rock that landed in our little plot of land and i discovered with a fine-tooth comb the other day as i groomed our grass

b) a dinosaur fossil one collected from an outdoor adventurous field trip to find arrowheads and other such saved-in-the-earth prizes

or

c) a nicely decayed and broken molar from a pretty little six year old's obviously rotten mouth

if you guessed a, i would like to say you are right, although i imagine a moondust rock to be pink and sparkley. i would even be happy for b. however, the correct and ugly truth is c. and i am sad to say the pictures don't quite do the real thing justice--it is just plain ol' nasty. plus, it cost about $120. merry christmas, my dear child.

p.s. do you think the tooth fairy should bring money for a tooth like this?

i think he sould take it to all the dental confrences and see if they can come up with a bionic sealant to prevent such decay. poot anna, she can't help having her mother's "soft" teeth.

My son has many rotten teeth, too. Maybe we could have a parents support group. Better yet, lets have a parents fund-raiser. :)
