The Dentist and Meatballs

Not my teeth.  topnews.com

     Did you know that kids cause cavities?  Oh yes.  I have enjoyed excellent teeth my whole life.  I took good care of them, much to the humiliation of my family.  If we were going somewhere and I didn't have time to brush my teeth, I would take a swig of mouth wash and swish until we hit the stop sign at the bottom of the hill.  I would open the door and spit it out right there on the road.  No wonder my sisters thought I was the family embarrassment.
     During my pregnancies I had trouble staying hygienic.  I could barely move, let alone stick something with a powerful flavor in my mouth three times a day, floss, and swish.  All the stomach acid eroded my teeth and I now have the mouth of a bulimic.  Oh, the shame.   To my credit, they are small and I probably won't need numbing, but they are there all the same.  Two cavities.  For someone who never had teeth hygiene issues, this is huge.

     As you can imagine I was depressed about this.  So I went to Subway and ordered a meatball sub.  Wow that was tasty!  I want another one.  For someone who doesn't like beef much, this was another surprise.  Who knew I was a manly carnivore?  I now have a new favorite menu item.  Thank you Dr. Tavoian for depressing me enough so that I would eat away my sorrow into a new favorite food.
