Doug's Heartache

Miriam has informed us that she no longer wants to be an Optometrist like her dad, she wants to be a Dentist. Much to Doug's dismay, she refuses to change her mind. It's actually pretty funny to watch Doug plead and beg with her to take after him. Obviously she has LOTS of time to decide on what she wants to do so I think Doug's still got time to changer her mind.

I'm not sure when all of this came about, but I wonder if it has anything to do with being at Andersen's house while Ryan was working on creating his teeth creations. Or, it could be that she has enjoyed going to the dentist here in Philadelphia. Well, almost. She enjoys it when she doesn't have to get shots in her mouth. Poor kid! I think she's inherited my horrible dental genetics.

These are some pictures from the other day. Look very carefully and see if you can figure out what the different objects she's using are supposed to represent.

Miriam, D.O.

The Patient


Dental Work in Progress

Did you catch all the equipment she was using? I'll break it down for you in case you couldn't figure it out.

Picture 1: Wipe over mouth: Face covering
Picture 2: Yellow Smiley Face : The clasp that holds the bib on you while you're in the chair.
Picture 2: Washcloth: The bib that dentists use to wipe your teeth gunk on.
Picture 3: Blue Bracelet: Water sprayer that's used to clean out your mouth
Picture 3: Red Purse Handle: The metal hook was used to clean the teeth.
