We needed gloves for a craft project. Latex gloves must have popped into Dorothy's mind, because she said, "We need the kind that smell like the dentist."
We've seen the actor Tony Hale in lots of shows lately, including The Mysterious Benedict Society, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and, this weekend, Hocus Pocus 2. Dorothy noted, "He might get hired for everything because he can laugh so long and so well."
For Christmas last year Dorothy bought me a mug and she bought Brian a stuffed animal from her school's "Santa Shop." I use my mug daily, and Brian displays his stuffed animal on his bookshelf. Out of the blue this week, I told Dorothy, "I just love this mug. It says World's Best Mom, but I think it should say World's Best World's Best Mom Mug." A few quiet seconds passed. "Mama, you are the world's best mom," Dorothy said. My heart melted. After a beat, she added, "There was also a mug at the Santa Shop that said World's Best Dad, but I didn't get it because..." Pregnant pause. She finished: "Because it had dinosaurs on it, and Daddy likes cute things, so I got him the stuffed animal instead."
