Ada had four cavities filled and a root canal recently.  Picture if you will…Ada in polka dot sunglasses, a hot pink nitrous oxide hose on her nose, enjoying cable TV cartoons, and multiple shots of novocaine.  

Mom!  I can’t feel my chin.  Poke it.  Right here.  Poke my chin.  I didn’t feel that!

My sister is nine and my brother is ten.  AH!  I mean eight.  My brother is eight.

I speak weirdly and I can’t whistle.  Watch.

My cheek is fat.  Does my cheek look fat?

I’m six and a half.  My birthday is right after Jesus’ birthday. (she has never explained it that way before)

Dentist: Do you want me to take off your pink nose?
Ada: Not yet!
