Baby Teeth

"Baby Teeth"*

*The orthodontist and his assistants were removing my eight-
year-old's dental appliance. Because it was cemented to
the upper teeth, they had to use some pressure to release it.

When it finally popped out, three baby teeth came out as well.

My child was horrified at seeing the gaps.

"Well," my child said to the staff gathered around, "who
do I see about getting some dentures?"

"Oregon Trail" *

*On a family vacation one summer, we crossed Wyoming
and noted several historical points of interest. The children
were especially interested because they enjoyed the
computer game "Oregon Trail," which gives players a
taste of the hardships the pioneers endured.

We stopped at the famous South Pass to look at the
wagon tracks still visible in the dirt.

Squinting out over the desolate, wind-swept landscape,
my daughter nodded and said grimly,

"This is where my oxen always die."
