Seriously. Who in the hell tells a child they're not completely familiar with that they have "Sugar Bugs" around their teeth?!! Carter had a dental check-up this afternoon, which she did great at (because there's a TV over the dental chair, and cartoons! She'd sit through anything in that fashion!). As the hygienist checked out her teeth, she said she had to use her "tooth toucher" to get the "sugar bugs" in the back. Then she scrapes some of the plaque off her back tooth and shows it to Carter, calling it a "fuzzy bug." The look on Carter's face was indescribable: total confusion and disgust over "bugs" being in her mouth. I heard about it in the car, and twice this morning.
She's very literal (the hygienist also said Carter "knew the ropes." Carter's response: "There's no rope here," with a total DUH look on her face). Tell her to brush better. Tell her she'll get cavities if she doesn't brush daily. But don't tell her she's got an infestation in my mouth!

Stupid dentist! Lord......it'll take her weeks to get over the bugs in her mouth.
