Man Bragging About How Infrequently He Receives Dental Care

TACOMA, WA—Treating the amount of time that had passed since his last appointment as a source of great personal pride, local man Kyle Telford, 25, reportedly bragged to several friends Friday about how infrequently he receives dental care. “I haven’t been to the dentist for at least four or five years now,” Telford reportedly said aloud in a confident and gloating tone of voice, proudly touting the fact that he had received no professional teeth cleaning over a period of time during which experts recommend seeing a dentist eight to 10 times. “Honestly, I can’t even remember the last time I went. I probably haven’t gone since freshman year of college, or maybe it was back in high school. My parents are always telling me to make an appointment, but I never do.” Telford reportedly followed his show of bravado about his rare dentist visits with a grandiose boast that he has no intention of seeing a doctor even though he’s been having frequent unexplained headaches recently.

“I’m a senior citizen on a fixed income. Can I just give you some money to donate?” She handed me a dollar.

Later, when I was telling my wife about my day at the market, I finally started to process just how compassionate and generous you are, Tacoma. And it brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful and I am thankful that I got to see it. I felt that web, that tangible connection between the local farmers and vendors I buy ingredients from, to my customers and something bigger than myself. That no matter how modest, I can make a change, so can you. It’s so easy to channel our resources, talents and relationships into making the world a little better for each other. Even if it is “just a buck.”

I put up a little note about my pledge to donate 100% of the profits from Saturday’s sales to Oasis Youth Center and Everytown and Tacoma responded.

“Can I write you a check for a donation?”

“You need to make your sign bigger and I’ll take one of each.”

“Thank you.”

“Thanks for doing this.”

No, no, Tacoma. Thank you. I’m so moved that I’m kicking in a little extra– plus my OCD made me make it a round number. Together we are a donating $200 each to Oasis Youth Center and Everytown.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Tacoma, you are so beautiful
