So, as most parents do, I've been prodding Brooks along into what I think would be an excellent job for him one day. You see, I have come to love our orthodontist office. Our orthodontist is just the nicest nicest nicest man. I love how you see his name on everything at every one of our schools because he contributes back to our community, greatly. His office staff is just the friendliest. I love watching his office work... I have never seen such a well oiled machine. never. I guess you could say that I am a little intrigued.
To my point.... I have been prodding Brooks lately, to be an orthodontist some day.... because really, it's all about being able to take off every Friday afternoon to play golf.
So, the other night while at dinner with a group of couples, the subject of orthodontists came up.... while on the subject... I shared with them that I had talked Brooks into being an orthodontist. My friend said, "well, you know, you have to be #1 in your dental school class just to get into orthodontist school (or whatever that schooling is called)...
So, on the way to church the other night, I was relaying this very important information to Brooks so that he can be prepared to be on top of his game once he gets to dental school. At that point, Ellison pops in and says, "Brooks, will you clean my teeth? because I know that you won't hurt me." clearly she doesn't know the job of an orthodontist At which Brooks replies, "No, I'm gonna hire people to do that. I'm just gonna sit back and tell all the people how much they owe me and play golf on Fridays."
Nice.
*No laughing at me on this post Emily!

What a smart man! That's hysterical.
Can't EVEN wait for Moody to read this post! Hilarious. I will tell Brooks that it is a pretty sweet profession and if he ever wants to spend a day in Moody's office, he would love that! :)
2 thing. First off, our pediatric dentist office is closed every Friday! Of course, the dentist has a well established practice, but you know.
Other thing. I (tried) emailing you a couple months or so ago about monogrammed stuff for my girls but never heard back. Just wondered if you even got my email.
