Dear OmegaDad
In your next life, when you meet a lady and and move in with her and she tells you, "You should go see a dentist", what will you do?
Will you wait 15 years, until your teeth are a horrible mess?
Or will you say, "Gee! What a great idea! I think I’ll make an appointment right now!"
I know which one I think you should do.
I think your wife in your next life will be very happy if you do that.
I know that your current wife, in your current life, is not a happy camper that it took you writhing in pain last year to finally go to the dentist. At that visit, a tooth was removed.
And a root canal was performed on another tooth.
And more was scheduled.
But then we moved.
And you put it off for a while, until you were writhing in pain once again. At which point, another tooth was removed.
Luckily, you seem to have finally seen the dental light. You have been awesome at scheduling things and getting things done.
But, my love, the reason you had three teeth worked on today with the prospect of one of them being a root canal job, and are doped up with steroids and demerol, and wincing at the thought of eating right now is because you waited fifteen years to start the dental work.
In my next life, I will be sure to be a mommy if my husband says, "Yeah, yeah, you’re right…" and never goes to the dentist. I will make sure I make an appointment right then and there, instead of saying, each year that I go to see the dentist, "Dear, you should go see a dentist."
Your loving wife, OmegaMom.
(For those who say, "Woman! Why didn’t you make an appointment for him 15 years ago!", I say: "Pish tosh! The man was a grown up! He could have picked up a phone! I make appointments for myself and for my dotter, who is a child!"
Okay. I’ve learned my lesson. I’d much rather have been a mommy-type for my husband all those years ago than see him dealing with the consequences of putting things off. The poor dear is truly in pain. But, dayum. Why does it take the equivalent of a mouth meltdown to finally get the wheels set in motion?!?!)
