An upgrade

My youngest daughter went to the dentist the other day. After some anxiety due to not knowing what to expect when the dentist started cleaning her teeth, Esther finally relaxed. After the cleaning, the dentist gave my wife the lecture about getting rid of Esther's pacifier so that her teeth would grow in straight. The dentist thought she had the trick for getting rid of the "sassy". She led my daughter to the treasure box where she could pick a toy in exchange for her pacifier. Then she made the mistake of showing her the old pacifiers that other kids had thrown in... Esther said, "I want that one!" She had made her selection: she picked out a new pacifier from the box of used ones.
