Why do some people have to be difficult? - Dental Insurance Guy
I don’t know about you, but as a dentist, I catch myself focusing on the negative. It is a common human trait, but I believe our education enhances this tendency. Dentists are used to fixing problems, so we are trained to seek out the problems.
I make lunches for my kids every night for the next day, and being kids they often change their mind on what they want to eat. Of course, they never seem to want the same thing.
