First Dental Exam

"First Dental Exam"

A shy little 4-year-old came in to the dentist
for his first cleaning and check-up.

The hygienist tried to strike up a conversation
but no response.

After the cleaning, the dentist was called in to
do the final check.

The dentist tried to strike up a conversation as
well. "How old are you?" No response.

The dentist then asked, "Don't you know how
old you are?"

Immediately four tiny fingers went up. "Oh," replied
the dentist, "and do you know how old that is?"

Four little fingers went up once again.

Continuing the effort to get a response, the dentist
asked, "Can you talk?"

The solemn little patient looked at him and asked,
"Can you count?"

"Sales Call"

A salesman telephoned a household, and a
four-year-old boy answered. Salesman: "May
I speak to your mother?"

Boy: "She's not here right now."

Salesman: "Well, is anyone else there?"

Boy: "My sister."

Salesman: "O.K., fine. May I speak to her?"

Boy: "I guess so."

At this point there was a very long silence on the
phone.

Then:

Boy: "Hello?"

Salesman: "It's you. I thought you were going to call
your sister."

Boy: "I tried. But I can't get her out of the playpen."
