"But I wanna"

"Yes and I want a cat but you're mothers not gonna let that happen either"

"Jr's allergic to cats"

"No, he isn't. we went walking and Jr happened to sneeze when we passed a cat and now your mother is convinced he's allergic"

"Watts?" A dentist said coming out of the little room

"That's us," I said having to pick her up as she wouldn't move on her own

"Nooo, daddy!! there gonna drill into my brains!" she yelled

"Erica. no dentist. No ice cream" I said and she gave in and walked in so I pushed jr in too

"Ice cream is very bad for your teeth," he said as we all got in

"Yeah you try rangling two kids here without their scary mother without promising ice cream," I told him

"Okay who's going to be big and brave and go first?" he asked

"Me! me! I wanna go forever and ever" I laughed picking jr up and he looked like he was gonna kill me for that

"Okay jr first" He laughed taking jr "His teeth are coming in great"

"I know" I sighed rubbing my hand where he bit me

"Has he got a teething ring?"

"He did, He threw it at his sister"

"all good as far as I can tell no need for anything else," he says handing him back "That means it's your turn, Erica"

"Go on, princess," I told her so she went and sat in the chair

"well all good, no issues," he told her which she happily ran back to sit with me "shall we get the next one sorted?" He asked

"Ohh no I'll leave that up to their mother she knows the uhhh schedule"

"Hummmm"

"Hum?"

"Mr watts it says you haven't been to the dentist in over six years?"

"..... that sounds true" I nodded sheepishly "it was Before erica was born I know that much. "

"How is that possible?"

"My wife forgets about me, and I hide in our house when she takes the children... usually. but she's back at work now"

"When was the last time you went to a dentist?"

"..... uhhhhhhh the last time my mother took me which I imagine was somewhere in 1954 after that she gave up taking me because I would fight her the whole way" I explained "No! actually I went to a dentist a week before I got married and got my teeth cleaned because she brassily ordered me to before we got married"

"Mr watts please sit on the chair"

"Uhhhh no thank you. you likely don't have time"

"If we have to daddy has to!" Erica yelled

"Fine. but you start drilling into my brain we are gonna have some problems" I warn him

"All done," He says letting me get up

"My mouth hurts... and I feel numb"

"yeah you wouldn't stop biting me"

"so that's where jr gets it from"

"Now little kiddos, for being so good you both get a lollipop," He told them handing them both a lollipop

"I wanna lollipop"
