There is a new story over at www.ribcage.org.
I wrote it with all of my teeth, but almost minus one tooth as Elise's elbow accidentally conked it pretty good and made my lip and gum line bleed just a bit.
I started thinking about what I would do if my tooth had actually popped out and the only thing I could think of was that I would probably drop it in a glass of soy milk, as that is the closest thing we have to actual milk in this apartment. Then I started wondering whether or not soy milk has the same tooth-saving properties as cow's milk?
As this was at around two last night that my tooth was conked, I would probably stand in front of a dentist's office, holding my glass of soy milk and tooth, just waiting for the morning, waiting for the dentist to arrive.
Then I started to wonder how often dentists arrive at the office to find someone with such a tooth emergency? Once a year, for sure--right? I mean, if you're really loyal to your dentist, or you can't find any kind of twenty-four hour place in your town--you would have to just wait.
The dentist would arrive and he would see the glass of milk in your hand and he would think, here we go again.
