Just when you thought the old days were behind you ...

The other day, I was talking to Adam on the phone while the kids were waiting for the bus. I said something like, "Ah, in the good old days, when we could make an appointment with a contractor and he would actually show up."

"In the good old days," Adam echoed.

Xavier, who could only hear Adam's side of the conversation said, "Ah, the good old days ... when you used to brush my teeth for me!"

Ha, ha, Xavier is such a kidder ... or so we thought, until he had his dental appointment today.

Guess what? It looks like the good old days have returned.
