And not for the obvious reasons.  You see my child has a peculiar collection going.  He loves toothbrushes.  He has about ten of them at any given time.  They come and they go.  Sometimes he’ll leave one on the floor, where the dog will find it and proceed to destroy it.  Sometimes one will simply disappear, presumably into the same blackhole that eats my socks.  And when he loses one, he wants another. Months ago, [...]

Seeing as I am a dentist, and my website is notjustaboring dentist, and my twitter name is angry dentist, it dawns on me that I should write a blog about dentistry. I know people don’t like going to the dentist.  I don’t take it personally anymore.  people just don’t like the dentist.  Why?  The needles.  The perceived pain.  The nosies.  All of the above.  A dozen different reasons.  But I want to tell you why [...]

Hilarious potty training stories. Nathan is just 2 years old, and my wife has decided to start potty training him.  She must have taught him the word penis, because I sure as heck didn’t. My wife told me to show him how to pee while sitting down.  I prefer not to.  I think he’s smart enough to watch me pee standing up.  Anyway, before bath time, he’ll sit on his potty and watch me pee.  [...]

I miss Dora and Boots.  And I miss Diego and his annoying pet jaguar.  I miss them because I have learned that the alternatives are even worse. Have you ever seen Wonderpets, the adventures of a baby duck, turtle and hamster?  Its horrible.  It;s so sugary sweet with the lessons that it  rots the brain.  My wife loves it, thinks the lisp the duck has (his name is Ming-Ming) is adorable.  It drives me nuts. [...]

My dog is an idiot.  There, I said it.  I love him, but he has no regard for his own safety. We have a slight ant problem right now.  it’s that time of year.  Not big ants, just the tiny ones, but they are there nonetheless.  So I went out and bought some run of the mill ant traps and dropped them in the areas where the little buggers were at their greatest concentrations.  One was [...]

So we went to my wife’s sister’s house on Sunday for a little birthday gathering, and she has all of this leftover food prepared for my two year old: Beef and noodles, potatoes, string beans, sweet potato and a variety of other things.  Does he want any of this?  Of course not! What does he want?  Yummy beets, the onions that are stewing in the beet juice, and plain avocado chunks in lemon sauce.  It’s just [...]

Two weeks and counting. That’s how long I’ve been sleeping on my couch.  Not that I’m complaining. Why am I sleeping on the couch, you may ask?  Well, if you have been reading my blog, you know that I have a newborn daughter,  That is not the problem.  The problem is, I have a dog.  And now just any dog, but a livable Daschund, who drives me crazy. Anyway, people have this misconception that wiener dogs are [...]
