Oh, my aging tiaras....

Isn't she something?


That sounds a whole lot more interesting than - darn those old crowns (as in dental covers).  I will admit to avoiding the dentist like the plague, even though I am very fond of the hygienist who makes my teeth feel all squeaky-clean.  It's just that, every visit seems to bring dire news.  Those aging tiaras need replacing and they ain't cheap.  My dentist is a tiny, bustling Russian woman who I like in spite of the fact that she is also my dentist - therefore bearer of bad news.


As I lay dozing in their comfy chair, listening to the heavily accented, 'tut-tut-ing' and 'ah, yes, I see that', and 'we will have to...', 'we must...' being volleyed between dentist and hygienist, I managed to weakly interject -


"Pick the most worst thing.  You've got one shot for the indefinite future."


There was a momentary pause.  I could almost hear the wheels turning.  There were a few more 'tuts' and some whispered conversation, but we managed to come up with a plan.  It involved the Queen Mother of my crowns.  The younger sovereigns will have to wait.
