The boys and I were eating breakfast this morning when Carter said, "Mom, Jesus must be really old by now."
I giggled quietly and said, "Well, Carter, I think people stop getting older once they're resurrected."
"What does resurrection mean?" Riley asked, sincerity in his cute little voice.
I opened up my mouth to answer him when Carter replied in a spooky Halloween-like voice, "It's when people come back from the dead!"
I giggled some more and explained that wasn't quite what it meant and gave Riley a better explanation.
What a way to start a weekend!

A Small Concern at the Dentist
Yesterday I took a trip to the dentist. It had been almost one year since I had visited the dentist's office, so it was high time for a cleaning from the dental hygienist. She was a nice woman, good at the typical small talk you'd hear in the dentist's office. Except for one strange comment.
She was cleaning and inspecting my teeth and gums and noticed the bridge I have. "Wow, that's a really nice bridge. You can't even tell from the front that there's a crown or anything," she said with her fingers in my mouth. "Did Dr. Sorensen do that or someone else," she asked, still with her fingers in my mouth. What is it with people at the dentist's office asking you questions with their fingers in your mouth?!
Slipping her gloved fingers out of my mouth, she gave me a second to respond. "No, it wasn't Dr. Sorensen, it was Dr. Williams," I replied. (Sadly, Dr. Williams passed away a few years ago.)
Then she said, "Before he died?"
Seriously?
It's a good thing her fingers were back in my mouth, because I'm afraid my sarcasm would have got the better of me at that point. And it's not a good idea to be sarcastic with someone who is inspecting your gums and your teeth with a sharp implement.
p.s. No cavities!
