Mahonri...Dental help needed...

[Mahonri]

When I was a kid on the farm a vet came out to help deliver a calf that wasn't coming out on it's own.. in fact I think it was a still born C-section.... anyway

As he was prepping to deliver the calf, he had washed up in our barn and had put a long plastic glove on and was literally sticking half of his arm up inside this cow he asks, "Son what are you going to do for a living once you are through with school?"

I was probably 14 or 15 a the time... and I puffed out my chest a little and said, "I'm going to be a dentist!" (I decided that in the 3rd grade)

To that he responded as he pulled his slimy, bloody arm out of the cow, "Don't you realize that a cow's A** is cleaner than a human's mouth?"

I still became a dentist.

Nice one...who whizzed in his corn flakes that morning? Not something you should say to a kid.

It was "his sense of humor" I suppose.

Didn't get it... but every time he came to the farm he ragged on me about getting my Eagle Scout Rank. I did it eventually... glad I did.

I watched him enough times as a kid, I seriously think that with my current knowledge, I could do a quick C-section on a heifer and sew her up real nice.

So he was the cranky old guy in the neighborhood that never said anything nice to anyone but someone everyone loved him anyways.

That was my grandma.

I loved my grandmother dearly, but boy was she a snot to people in the neighborhood. She was also racist and a three martini woman til the day she died.
