Dear Daughter,
Well, today we went to the dentist to have a cavity filled, and you were super. I was very proud of you and the dentist was too.
They had to numb your gum/cheek in order to fill the cavity, and the dentist told us that you could not eat for a while for fear of biting your cheek since you could not feel it.
As we were walking to the car, you asked me how long "a while" is and I said maybe a couple of hours. Within five minutes, you asked if your tooth was "still asleep," and I said, yes, it will still be a while.
It is hard to wait when something is so strange like your cheek being numb. You were not able to make a "Puh" or "Fuh" sound and that "while" seemed like it would never come. But, eventually, the numbness will go away, but it may seem like a lot longer than it actually is.
So, today, again, you learned a lesson in the Relativity of how Time "feels" to go slower when you are waiting.
I Love You,
Papa
