1. Sadie, our dog, has a purple tooth and, according to the vet, needs a root canal. Since Sadie doesn't seem to be in pain, we're waiting to see if we really need to take her to a veterinary dentist in Seattle. Pet ownership can be expensive, but less expensive if one has pet health insurance.
2. Mark was frustrated with his math homework last night. He understood the problem and figured out the solution, but he struggled when he had to write the solution in words instead of numbers. I tried to help, explaining in great detail how he could pen his answer. After I had talked for a few minutes, Mark said, "I've come up with a solution, Mom. I was just getting so bored with your lecturing, I've decided to solve the problem myself." He did, and did it very well.
3. Dogs don't give you very much of a warning before they vomit.
4. Why is it that some children are so averse to resupplying the toilet paper holder with toilet paper?
5. "The reward of charity depends entirely upon the extent of the kindness in it." (Babylonian Talmud)
6. Rachelle, our second pickiest eater, detests beans (except string beans) in all forms, but she loves hummus (ground up garbanzo beans). Trader Joe's Mediterranean Hummus is the best!

Regarding #4, I think spouses have the same aversion. At least, that's been my experience. I've even held a short instructional session during Family Home Evening to show those in my household where things belong in the bathroom, where the surplus toilet paper is located, how to remove the empty tube and place a new one on the roller. Didn't seem to do any good, and as the only female in the household, I'm the only one who uses toilet paper regularly.
I hope it wasn't those cheesey biscuits I gave Sadie that caused the upset!
