NO NEED FOR TEETH!

I forgot to mention: last week Thurs. I went to the dentist and started a root canal. I still remember when I was a little girl, The dentist would say, "This will pinch a little," and he would give me an anesthizing shot to numb the pain for the rest of the work. I guess that helped, but I still remember it hurt like the dickens. "Pinch" nothing. So last week, when the dentist gave me my shot...

"Did it hurt really bad?" It was Aristarcus, the large turtle at Quasi Pond.

No; I expected it to! But the needles today are much better, or my dentist is real good, because it felt like I barely got stung by a mosquito. He did a real good job, and is supposed to finish it Thurs. the 26th.

"Humans should just have horny beaks, like turtles," Aristarcus seemed to think; "then you wouldn't need dentists.
