Originally uploaded by senoritafishRunsamuck has been a bit disgruntled with our dentist since the last time he went in and the good Dr. was a little rough with the dental floss. Also for telling Gareth he wouldn't do anything to the baby incisor that was hanging by a thread and yanking it out anyway. To be honest, it needed to happen - Gareth's mouth has some kind of shark thing going on, and really wanted to retain baby teeth, when adult teeth were already growing in underneath them. This one was clear up above his gumline, but he wouldn't let anyone touch it.
So, the last time the fry and I went to the dentist, as we were leaving, the good doctor called, "Wait, I have something for you." He ducked into his office and came out with this box of Persian candy.
"Here, give this to John; maybe it'll pull some teeth out and make him have come back in to see me!" he laughed.
A peace offering? I looked it up; it actually comes from a small town in Iran. Sort of flowery nougat with pistachios. Two of the fry thought it tasted like soap, but I liked it.
