Hygienists, lollipops, and 10pm cookies.
Tuesday, 10pm. I post the following on Facebook:
I am quite fond of my wife, but being married to a dental hygienist has its particular challenges.
Man, I feel like a lollipop right now. I feel guilty for even wanting one.
Comments
Becky.
Truth be told...Even dental hygienists eat lollipops!
Joe, our neighbor who lives a couple miles away.
Hey Joseph, come on down to our house...we've got a lot of lollipops for you to enjoy without any guilt whatsoever......then you can go home and brush, floss, and rinse before going to bed.
Sharika, our neighbor who lives a couple miles away and is married to Joe.
If it makes you feel any better, as your wife's former classmate & fellow hygienist, I'm currently making cookies.
They'll be ready in about five minutes.. Jussayin.
Sharika.
P.S. my husband, the dentist, is currently riding his bike on the trainer. Feel free to bypass him & come to the front door. Ill send a plate home for you to enjoy. Guilt free.

How do you know what a lollipop feels like?
Me.
Whoa...you mean there's not a standardized code of conduct for hygienists? It's not actually illegal for hygienists to let their significant others have lollipops? I'm sensing there's more to this story than I've been led to believe. Thank you, Becky, Joe, and Sharika for your forthright responses. I'm going to dig a little deeper.
Cookies? Seriously? I will be down. Not joking. I will be there in ten.
Becca.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Way to throw me under the bus. Dear.
Guilty?! Wow.
Becca.
No thank you, everyone else!
If you have read through the comments, you will notice that there is one where an invitation is extended for me to come PICK UP COOKIES.
I decide to accept. At 10pm. Man, we have great friends
UPDATE, REGARDING MY PREVIOUS POST IN WHICH I GRUMBLED ABOUT LOLLIPOPS.
Do you have friends who invite you to drive to their house at 10pm to pick up freshly-baked cookies that are still oozing chocolate? Sorry if you don't, because I have just returned from the home of such friends with a full plate of chocolatey warm delights. I would like to start ending every day this way, please. Sharika, you are the Florence Nightingale of late-night baking. An angel.
Thanks, dental friends!

Lets not forget who's initial invite it was that allowed you to come in contact with such delicious late night treats....and yes, I am spoiled by my wife with delicious treats somewhat on a regular bases, hence the late night session on my trainer. (By the way, thanks for hanging out with me tonight. It really helped the time go by much faster.)
P.S. Don't forget to brush and floss tonight!
Joseph.
Dr. Joe, I would be so negligent to not thank you for kickstarting this happening. Thank you! Fabulous idea, we'll have to do it on a regular basis.
Great chatting with you...although I don't think I worked off quite as many calories as you during our conversation
Your advice is heeded. Toothbrush and floss, here I come.
