Last year David had some major oral surgery, which at the time was pretty intense and not so fun. But a year later it’s pretty dang funny. Really anytime someone starts talking about going to the dentist I start laughing thinking back to when David had his mouth worked on.

We get to the dentist and he goes in and tells them that he’s probably going to gag. They tell him it’s fine we do this everyday. Umm yeah not happening they send him out with a prescription to go pick up to help him with his phobia of people sticking their fingers in his mouth. So we head to the pharmacy to get it filled. The pharmacist says you may have some memory loss. I’m thinking “Woah what is this stuff” He takes it along with some pain pill they told him to take right before and some other crap to calm him down.

Yes he was totally out of it. 5 minutes before they call him back in he leans over to me and says “The walls are breathing”. I stifle back a giggle since the room is filled with people and don’t want to cause a scene. He then starts laughing at some guy sitting across from us. I’m thinking ” Great this guys going to come kick his a**” I whisper in David’s ear “What are you laughing at that guy for?” he tells me that the guy has two heads. OMG!

When it’s all over with and they call me back. First thing he does is smile at me with gauze stuffed in his mouth. He looks like a chipmunk and then when the nurse is telling me how to take care of him. David is making little blah, blah, blah gestures behind her back.

The pharmacist was right too, he only remembers parts of this story.

My Dad wouldn’t let me get mine pierced until I was in the 3rd grade. Which maybe I should have waited longer because I took them out and never put them back in so I had to get them done TWICE. My MIL and SIL didn’t get their ears pierced until about 10 years ago. They are 30 something and 60 something.

The other night Ava asked me “Does it hurt to get your ears pierced?” I told her just for a second. It feels a little bit like a bee sting. I then asked her why she wanted to know. She told me she wanted to get them pierced. I’m assuming this is because her friend wants to get hers pierced before Christmas. Which really is not a big deal to me. I think she’s old enough. I just don’t know if David will agree. You know how Dad’s are.

Ava then told me “Did you know there are little preschoolers with their ears pierced at school?”
I said ” Yes…Did you know some people get their babies ear pierced. Kids the age of your brother and younger”
Ava: “That’s dumb…babies are already cute they don’t need earrings!”
