After the dentist? 17 00:01:29,161 --> 00:01:30,801 Speaker 1: What does she have to have done at the dentist? 18 00:01:32,161 --> 00:01:35,321 Speaker 2: I feel like a bad mum even opening this conversation up, 19 00:01:35,401 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: because I've had this conversation with our dentists, going why 20 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: what are we doing wrong? She's getting a feeling at 21 00:01:41,321 --> 00:01:43,761 Speaker 2: the back on one of her big teeth like a 22 00:01:43,801 --> 00:01:46,761 Speaker 2: moler at the back. Yeah, And I sort of went 23 00:01:46,801 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: straight in and just was like. 24 00:01:48,121 --> 00:01:49,081 Speaker 1: What are we doing wrong? 25 00:01:49,481 --> 00:01:51,841 Speaker 2: Why's her teeth needing fillings? She's seven? 26 00:01:52,081 --> 00:01:54,521 Speaker 1: You can need a feeling from overbrushing. 27 00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:57,441 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that. That's my problem with my children. 28 00:01:58,241 --> 00:02:00,321 Speaker 2: I feel like all I do is shove that toothbrush 29 00:02:00,401 --> 00:02:02,281 Speaker 2: right down their throat just to try and brush them 30 00:02:02,281 --> 00:02:04,681 Speaker 2: every night. I'm still helping out with brushing their teeth 31 00:02:04,681 --> 00:02:05,001 Speaker 2: every night. 32 00:02:05,081 --> 00:02:09,361 Speaker 1: It can be certain things like fruit juice. Like fruit 33 00:02:09,401 --> 00:02:12,001 Speaker 1: juice is good, like proper orange juice is really good 34 00:02:12,001 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: for you, But it's the acidity and the sugars that are. 35 00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:18,161 Speaker 2: In it you can Yeah, she is more of the 36 00:02:18,361 --> 00:02:22,321 Speaker 2: juice drinker. Both My children wouldn't know what soft drink is, 37 00:02:22,321 --> 00:02:24,281 Speaker 2: so I don't have to worry about that. I know 38 00:02:24,321 --> 00:02:24,921 Speaker 2: what you mean, though. 39 00:02:25,321 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: Do you think it sounds bad when you say my 40 00:02:27,201 --> 00:02:29,121 Speaker 1: kid needs a filling at age seven? 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,601 Speaker 2: Seven? Yeah? Why is her teeth falling apart at seven? 42 00:02:32,761 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: Because you don't want to grow eat lollies all day long? 43 00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:39,721 Speaker 2: No, she's a fruit bat though, Like I'm talking, proper 44 00:02:39,881 --> 00:02:45,961 Speaker 2: fruit bat, always eating fruit. Yes, fruit yes, Elsie said 45 00:02:46,001 --> 00:02:48,921 Speaker 2: that too. Elsie chimed in and was like, oh, because 46 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,441 Speaker 2: you love those fruits. She always calls it fruits. I 47 00:02:51,441 --> 00:02:53,161 Speaker 2: don't know why she thinks it's more than one, but 48 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,161 Speaker 2: she says, you're always eating the fruits, and so she 49 00:02:56,321 --> 00:02:58,481 Speaker 2: thinks that that's the reason. So that would be another 50 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,001 Speaker 2: reason for her never to eat fruit in her whole entire. 51 00:03:02,881 --> 00:03:05,721 Speaker 1: Any fruit or vegetables. And now she's seeing her sister 52 00:03:05,841 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: has to go and have a filling because she eats 53 00:03:08,601 --> 00:03:09,641 Speaker 1: fruit and vegetables. 54 00:03:09,721 --> 00:03:13,201 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. So basically as we do, and coming 55 00:03:13,201 --> 00:03:16,601 Speaker 2: out of isolation, everything's like coming slowly back to normal. 56 00:03:16,761 --> 00:03:19,721 Speaker 2: And so I'm jam packing the kids' lives again, which 57 00:03:19,721 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: we said that we wouldn't do. But she's got singing lessons, 58 00:03:23,041 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: and the amount of joy that my child gets when 59 00:03:26,841 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: she walks out of singing lessons, I'm not seeing her 60 00:03:29,201 --> 00:03:30,081 Speaker 2: like this with anything. 61 00:03:30,161 --> 00:03:34,001 Speaker 1: Does she get her singing voice from you? Do you think, yes, 62 00:03:36,001 --> 00:03:36,961 Speaker 1: you're a good singer? 63 00:03:37,041 --> 00:03:40,041 Speaker 2: Absolutely? I know. Yeah, I can't sing and don't have 64 00:03:40,121 --> 00:03:43,041 Speaker 2: a musical sort of note in my body, but that's okay. 65 00:03:43,121 --> 00:03:45,321 Speaker 2: You've got to accept not being good at things. 66 00:03:45,081 --> 00:03:47,001 Speaker 1: As long as you like listening. To it. I love 67 00:03:47,201 --> 00:03:50,121 Speaker 1: listening to my own singing. No one else does. 68 00:03:50,561 --> 00:03:53,121 Speaker 2: I like it. It was really good in the shower 69 00:03:53,121 --> 00:03:56,281 Speaker 2: when no one else is listening. So she comes out 70 00:03:56,281 --> 00:03:58,321 Speaker 2: with these vibes. So I thought, oh shit, now I've 71 00:03:58,361 --> 00:04:00,361 Speaker 2: got a dentist. So I've got a rush. And we 72 00:04:00,441 --> 00:04:02,641 Speaker 2: go to a dentist on the other side of Brisbane, 73 00:04:02,761 --> 00:04:04,921 Speaker 2: so we've got to pick her up. Do the dentist 74 00:04:05,121 --> 00:04:07,681 Speaker 2: come back? And she was like, no, but I cannot 75 00:04:08,201 --> 00:04:12,041 Speaker 2: miss singing. Cannot can't, I said, but you can under stand. 76 00:04:11,961 --> 00:04:14,561 Speaker 1: For a second, how come you go to a dentist 77 00:04:14,681 --> 00:04:16,801 Speaker 1: that's over the other side of town. You know that 78 00:04:16,841 --> 00:04:22,241 Speaker 1: there's a dentist like on every other street everywhere. I 79 00:04:22,281 --> 00:04:25,681 Speaker 1: don't know what it is, your childhood dentist. 80 00:04:25,761 --> 00:04:28,361 Speaker 2: No, it's not my childhood, but but I really like him. 81 00:04:28,481 --> 00:04:30,201 Speaker 1: Did he give you a sticker? 82 00:04:30,401 --> 00:04:33,561 Speaker 2: Yeah? It gave me a real pad on the back 83 00:04:34,521 --> 00:04:37,681 Speaker 2: brush every time, they're amazing. 84 00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:42,081 Speaker 1: Do you always take the little toothpaste samples the samples? 85 00:04:42,201 --> 00:04:42,441 Speaker 2: Yes? 86 00:04:42,641 --> 00:04:45,281 Speaker 1: Do you get your kids to give you your pocket? 87 00:04:46,201 --> 00:04:49,681 Speaker 2: No, because they give us a bag every time. So 88 00:04:49,801 --> 00:04:51,801 Speaker 2: any appointment that we go, we get a little kit bag. 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,001 Speaker 2: You leave with a kit bag. 90 00:04:53,281 --> 00:04:55,081 Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you can get the extra ones that 91 00:04:55,201 --> 00:04:56,601 Speaker 1: reception the samples. 92 00:04:57,561 --> 00:05:00,481 Speaker 2: They've got apples on the desk, so yeah, I know 93 00:05:00,641 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: it's healthy as well. 94 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,881 Speaker 1: Good for your teeth. That's too many apple there. 95 00:05:07,201 --> 00:05:09,681 Speaker 2: No, I don't know why I do it. Do you 96 00:05:09,721 --> 00:05:11,721 Speaker 2: want to know another weird fact about me? Here we 97 00:05:11,761 --> 00:05:13,601 Speaker 2: go throw myself under the bush. 98 00:05:13,721 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: God, what's going to be? 99 00:05:17,681 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: He always smells nice. His after shave is really nice. 100 00:05:21,721 --> 00:05:23,481 Speaker 2: And I don't have a crush on him. And he's 101 00:05:23,481 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: married and I'm married, and it's fine. But somebody smells nice. 102 00:05:27,801 --> 00:05:31,001 Speaker 1: Drive across the other side of town to the dentist 103 00:05:31,121 --> 00:05:32,361 Speaker 1: for Is that. 104 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,601 Speaker 2: What you're saying? Okay, alright, say let's go back to 105 00:05:38,641 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: my child.

They're an amazing team. 107 00:05:44,041 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: But oh now it's the team. 108 00:05:45,561 --> 00:05:50,041 Speaker 2: It's not just the nice it's just him when I 109 00:05:50,081 --> 00:05:53,841 Speaker 2: only see him. But yeah, so I feel comfortable with him, 110 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,601 Speaker 2: hence my children going there.
