Beltmann Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 A friend of mine has a child with an upcoming birthday, and the boy wants a dentist-themed party. (Mom was pushing for a baseball or Spider-Man theme, but he was having none of it!) Anyway, mom wants to play a game where she presents various movie clips and have the kiddies guess the film--but she wants all the scenes to be related to dentistry. She asked me if I could think of any familiar kids' flicks with dentist scenes. I thought of only a few, so I'm asking VC for their suggestions. Any thoughts?? My list is pretty short right now:Finding NemoCharlie and the Chocolate FactoryMarathon Man (this suggestion was not well-received) Little help? Thanks in advance!

Lammycat Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 How old is the kid? Either way, I highly doubt he'd know the great scene from the great movie The Inlaws (the original) with the exchange between Peter Falk and Alan Arkin's characters where Falk causes the patient, Mrs. Adelman, to have the gel harden in her mouth.

That's the trouble--my wife just mentioned Shakiest Gun in the West, and my first thought was: What are the odds these kids will know that one? I guess I'll add it to the list. I'll let Mom determine what's in their range of knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Genevieve Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 How about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," with the elf that wants to be a dentist? Also - a dentist-themed party? Kids these days... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Also - a dentist-themed party? Kids these days... Yeah, I think Mom was a little embarrassed to explain her quest! I believe I made a super-clever crack like, "A dentist party? You gotta be pulling my... tooth?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This kid is going to end up being a very wealthy and successful dentist. Sure, all the kids will mock him incessantly for having a dentist party when he was 7, but just wait until they find themselves in his chair years later. "Is it safe?" indeed.

At least it's not as creepy as a 10-year old whose life goal was to be a plastic surgeon and whose favorite color was gold... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
