As we were going through our overseas clearances for our next station the dentist discovered that H still had 2 of her baby teeth. Her k-9's were still firmly rooted and the adult teeth had broken through sometime ago behind the baby teeth. H was lucky enough to inherit my mom's small, narrow mouth and the dentist assured us that she is not going to have enough room for all of her adult teeth. He also assured us that braces were in her near future so we will pursue that when we get to our next duty station. They scheduled her to come back to have the baby teeth removed. Her best friend was there with us for moral support. The Doc was used to his patients being around 5 or 6 years old and therefor came out armed with a kindergarten board book that explained the procedure and a little black beany baby dog for her to hold during the surgery. (hee hee hee) He said something like "Alrighty, where's H?" I pointed to the 14 year old next to me. It took him a second to switch gears. He excused himself and returned about 30 seconds later without his props, although she did get to hold the beany baby during the procedure.

Are you already getting ready to leave Korea? Wherea are you going? England???
Oh H, I feel bad for you. I never had any of my teeth pulled by a dentist. My sisters did though. I still have all four of my wisdom teeth.
I hope you get lots of mula from the tooth fairy. You should have waited until payday to have your teeth pulled, she is usually more generous at about that time.
Ya, ditto to Kell....do tell where!
Wendy and Kelly,
Thanks for the comments. As of right now we are going to England. RNLT is 31 July. They've (the AF) has already tried to back out on it once so we'll see. Should have orders in mid April. Wish us luck!
