I’ve just pulled up to the dentist’s office with five out of my six children in tow. A bit of context: The dentist’s office is remarkably challenging for the sixth child, so I bring him to appointments alone, when he can get his own room at the back of the office, and the saints that are the dental assistants at Dr. Molly’s let him spray water into his mouth as much as he wants and in general, break every rule about being at the dentist that other children—my own included—are expected to follow. So I was there with the other five, who don’t get their own room but probably should because we travel in an exceptionally loud manner. But I digress.
