A shy little four-year old girl was at the dentist for her first check-up and cleaning. The hygenist attempted to strike up a conversation with her, but received no response.
After the cleaning was finished, the dentist was called in to do the final check. He, too, tried to strike up a conversation with the little girl and received no response.
„Don’t you know how old you are?” the dentist asked. The little girl immediately held up four fingers.
„Oh, I see,” replied the dentist, „and do you know how old that is?”
Once again, the little girl held up four fingers.
Continuing the effort to get a response, the dentist asked, „Can you talk?”
With a solemn look, the little girl replied, „Can you count, asshole?”
