I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

oh lisah, I'm so sorry.

I"ve had a morning. Noah and I are back from his dentist -- he had an extraction of a molar. I watched them sedate him (Versed is amazing and has a short half life) and then strapped him down on a table and gave him a crown and extracted a molar. It was pretty scary.

Now he's on the couch watching Charlie Brown Christmas (it was his choice) and I'm here with him. The molar they took came out clean, which is nice. I think the tooth fair will write him a letter and he'll get enough to buy stratego with his saved money + tooth money.

not your mom's socks.

I'm so sorry, Lisa.

ugh, poor Noah. Poor Kat. Dentists are among the worst places to be a parent/significant other-spectator.

Agreed, Sox. Though he's super stoked that he lost his first tooth. The dentist is really great, actually. Very kind and she tells him what she's about to do every time she does something. which lowers his anxiety, but not necessarily mine.

I don't want to do anything else today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sounds like a good kid-dentist there. Recently, someone on my home town Facebook group posted a picture of the office of my kidhood dentist and I swear I had a PTSD flashback.

I think there's an argument to be made that you deserved a dose of Versed, too, Kat.

I'm so sorry, Lisa.

Because books.

For a long time when Jake was home sick, the only movie he ever wanted to watch was George of the Jungle with Brendan Fraser. Weird.

Brave guy, Noah! Extractions are a bear.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All sympathies, Lisa. He was a beautiful boy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lisa, I'm so sorry about your loss.

Well, it is still Masturbation Month ...
