(From March 13th)

The Tooth Saga continued last night as Mom kept asking me about the sore spot in the back of her mouth. I continued to remind her she had a tooth pulled. Finally she said “Did I get to see it before they took it away?” I was surprised by this and replied “No I don’t think so, but why would you want to see it?” She looked at me with a really sweet expression and said “Well I wasn’t ready for it to go away yet.” I reminded her the tooth was rotten and so it needed to be pulled, they had no other choice. Mom said “Now how does that happen, I brush my teeth!” I said “Maybe it just got tired, your teeth are 80 years old.” She replied “Well all the others in there must be tired too.” She turned and looked at me and said “Uh Oh, I think I am in trouble.”
