One for the Record Books

Jedd and I were eating at The Tavern, a pizza place across from Lowe's on 50th yesterday. There we were, minding our own business (as Jack would say) and SNAP!

A crazy scary noise sounding like a snapped twig arose from Jedd's mouth. He was eating a grinder sandwich, so I figured he'd inadvertently bit down on a concealed toothpick and broke it in two. That's exactly what it sounded like. But that's not exactly what happened.

No, he'd bit down the wrong way on the fork he was using to eat the last tenth of his sandwich, and he broke his tooth!

A nice little inverted V-shaped chip now marks his front left tooth. Eeek! He gets it fixed Thursday a.m., which is okay because he says it doesn't hurt. But from the sound it made, I won't be surprised if the diagnosis is more than just a chip.

Stay tuned...
