You know, when I try to get my kids to smile when they don't want to, I tell them to NOT smile!!! (It usually works too - especially when you start with "Don't laugh... no laughing allowed." - this even worked on one of my daughter's friends - who was particularly hard, but I got her!)
Almost there... Treating this thing pretty aggressively. Dentist on Tuesday - who will undoubtedly send me home with antibiotics in order to fix it the following week - because that's how dumb it is... My expectation is that this wisdom tooth is coming out at this point. But I just want to be able to eat properly again! (Hopefully, it will drop some pounds though!)
