“Oh my God, look at that! I thought you removed those salmon bones in my favorite fried cakes. Now look, I need to find a dentist that’s open on Sunday!”
“Oh, George, relax, I have a friend who is a dentist. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind helping you out. And George, she’s single.”
“Single? Is that all you ever think about, mom? I may never meet someone I think cool enough to spend my life with!”
“It doesn’t hurt to look, and George, she’s a dentist!” George’s mother was always on the lookout for a potential bride, her son was almost thirty!
“I suppose you think everyone should marry a doctor, right mom?”
“Yes, or lawyer, or better yet, a banker! Anyway, your dream of going to South America to save the rainforest is not practical, who needs more trees?”
“We do mom, the whole world is suffocating under a layer of toxic carbon. Trees absorb it and help to save the environment.”
“So, maybe you should marry a scientist?”
“Can you call to see if she can fix my tooth? I have a presentation tomorrow and need this front tooth replaced or I’ll look like a dork. No one will be thinking about the environment, just my mouth!”
George saw the dentist, his tooth was fixed and the two found they had similar interests. She attended his presentation, made a large donation to save the trees and they lived happily ever after in South America. She held clinics for local people and he saved trees. Sometimes mother knows best.
