Dr. Floss Is the Boss! Quotes

“Did you hear about the cell phone that went to the dentist?” Molar Monkey asked us. “No, I didn’t,” said Dr. Floss. “What about it?” “It had Bluetooth,” said Molar Monkey. “Get it? Blue . . . tooth?” Everybody laughed even though the monkey puppet didn’t say anything funny. “Hey, do you know why kids don’t like going to the dentist?” Molar Monkey asked us. “No, why?” asked Dr. Floss. “Because dentists are boring,” said Molar Monkey. “Get it? Boring?” I didn’t get it, but I laughed anyway. You should always laugh after a monkey puppet tells a joke. That’s the first rule of being a kid. “Okay, enough with the jokes,” said Molar Monkey. “When you brush your teeth blah blah blah blah back teeth blah blah blah blah front teeth blah blah blah blah tops and bottoms blah blah blah blah and don’t forget to brush your tongue blah blah blah blah . . .” What a snoozefest. Molar Monkey was right. Dentists are boring. And so are their puppets. “Do monkeys even brush their teeth?” I whispered to Ryan.”
