Ice cream as a reward might be counterproductive...

Yesterday both girls had dentist appointments. Last time we went I was horribly embarrassed by the bad state of their teeth. This time, however, we all got high fives and the girls got two stickers each. It took almost as long to decide on which two stickers they wanted as did the entire cleaning. (How is that for a poorly constructed sentence?? I am reading a book right now in which the intellectuals are constantly complaining about poor grammar, having the belief that "Grammar is a way to attain beauty". Sadly, half the time when they present examples, I cannot figure out where the error lies).

Anyway, here are my two brave girls just before the cleaning started. Cosette was offering moral support to her sister, but really just wanted to sit in the cool moving chair.
