Our Visit with Dr. Greg

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know.

 Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful! 

Know what? We're visiting Dr. Greg. He's a dentist. I know what dentists do. They are tooth doctors. Dr. Greg is very nice. He says I have a cavity. Cavities are bad. They are little holes. They come when we don't brush and frost after eating Smarties and and wallermelon and drinking root beer. Sugar isn't nice to our teeth.

Dr. Greg says, "This will pinch a little bit. He puts my mouth to sleep so he can chase away the cavity. I'm very brave. I hold very still and almost don't cry at all. That's 'cuz I'm five and Chance is watching. I have to be brave for Chance, you know. I set a good example. When we're all done, I get a really pretty sticker! Chance gets one, too. We'll be back to see Dr. Greg and Miss Donna in January. Remember to be true to your teeth or they will be false to you!

I could be a dentist you know. I would say, "Open wider, please" and "turn your head this way." Then I would use the drill to chase away the cavities. Cavities would be afraid of Dr. Charles. I would give all the brave little bear cubs stickers and Spiderman toothpaste and Ninja toothbrushes, too.

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed. 

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Brush and frost your teeth every time you eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can brush and frost together! Over and out!"
