A couple of days ago I (Jordan) took Jack to be immunized. This time was a little more tricky because he is more aware of what is going on, and I always hate to see him get stuck with a needle. But we planned to stop by 7 eleven afterwards, and he was the one that was going to pick out the treat. So we go in the store and I show him the candy aisle, the hotdogs, and slurpees. Hoping he would pick something that wouldn't completely rot out his teeth--I have nightmares about him being strapped down at the dentist office--it was time for the moment of truth. What did he pick? Jack couldn't help but hone in on the strategically placed, everlasting gobstopper sucker that stuck out like a sore thumb by the cash register. Are those things secretly produced by dentists that need more patients? And who knew they cost two plus dollars? So we bought it and I chucked it in the garbage as soon as he lost interest in it. Next time I'm spending a quarter on him and buying him a tootsie roll. This experience goes down as another lesson learned the hard way with the first child.
p.s. this post is dedicated to my blog nazi friends. You know who you are:)

I hate sucker, too! Stay strong next time ;)
That sucker is a better plug than a binki, for looks only, for teeth...yes, very bad. I love that it cost a whopping $2+ dollars.
p.s. I'm a proud nazi :)
I'll join the "I hate lollipops" club. And yes we do call them lollipops instead of suckers in the east. :)
Yep, Pediatric Dentists specifically sponsor those kinds of suckers! =) And, Halloween is their favorite holiday. I'll have to tell Dan he'll probably need to see Jack soon. j/k =)
lol that is a funny story!! I'm happy for the new post as well. I hope all is well with you guys!!
