Dear Teething Gods:

SCREW YOU!  You are completely inhumane and clearly have no regard for the (usually) happy, chubby, adorable, 6-month old boy, who you clearly find happiness in torturing.  Poor Gavin's first bottom tooth broke through less than a week ago, (this following 3 weeks of sleepless nights, sad, whimpering cries, and aversion to eating...) and you decide that TODAY-- after he's had only a few days of respite-- is a good day for the second bottom tooth to start making its appearance?! Have you not heard of the "band-aid method" -- you know, the 'get it all done in one fell swoop' philosophy?  Would it have killed you to let the poor little guy cut a FEW teeth all at once, so that his initial induction into the "teething bites!" club was as minimally painful and time-efficient as possible? I don't think this would have been too much to ask. Look at the poor little guy tonight, after a day of pain brought on by YOU and your shenanigans:



Do you see those sad eyes? Those wet, drooly lips? You should be ashamed of yourselves. In conclusion, Teething Gods, I find this behavior to be completely unacceptable. Please go sit on the naughty step and don't come off until you have thought long and hard about what you've done, and are ready to say sorry.

Regards,

Baby Gav's Momma

p.s. 1.5 teeth down...18.5 to go  :-(
