The Dentistry Toy Set

A colorful dentistry toy set a Washington dentist purchases for his two young kids encourages them to think deeply during the Coronavirus quarantine.

Here's one more quarantine parable about the value of toys and imagination during this stressful time of indoor life, and it was inspired by the film Toy Story! Thanks,

Alan lived in Washington and was under home quarantine during the Coronavirus pandemic in the year 2020. He was a dentist who had a small practice in the Washington area and was considering taking patients for emergency cases during the quarantine in America. While he took in patients as a working dentist, always careful to sanitize his hands and wear a sterile mask, he decided to buy a toy dentistry set for his two young children, two boys, both aged 7, Kevin and Kirk. Alan worked happily at his dentist's office to take in patients during the quarantine who needed immediate care while his two young boys played with their delightful new toy dentistry set at home, away from school, and waiting for their dentist father to get home everyday.

Alan came home everyday and noticed his two boys Kevin and Kirk playing with their awesome new dentistry toy set, which included a big head with teeth and gums, various dental hygiene items, and various dentistry operation tools and instruments. This dentistry toy set was meant to encourage Alan's two young kids, Kevin and Kirk, to think seriously about the importance of daily hygiene and dentistry during the great Coronavirus quarantine and not to take anything for granted. The dentistry toy set was both colorful and instructional, so Kevin and Kirk got lots of enjoyment and stimulation playing with it. Some of the gummy items came as refillable ingredients of the dentistry toy set, and Alan would reorder them online once they were emptied.

ALAN: Are you two enjoying your time with the dentist toys?

KEVIN/KIRK: Yes we are, daddy!

ALAN: Good; the toy set will teach you much about dental hygiene.
KEVIN/KIRK: Why can't we go outside, daddy?
ALAN: Right now, the Coronavirus is sweeping across America!

KEVIN/KIRK: So we might get sick if we meet someone who's sick too?

ALAN: That's right.
KEVIN/KIRK: So you want us to just play with this dentist toy set inside now?
ALAN: That's right, my dear boys!
KEVIN/KIRK: Do you think we'll never have to go to the dentist?

ALAN: Well, your toys will not substitute for real life or the world, but you can daydream!

KEVIN/KIRK: We don't want to go to the dentist anymore, daddy!
ALAN: Don't think the Coronavirus indoor quarantine is an excuse to avoid all duties in life, sons.
KEVIN/KIRK: What?
ALAN: Yes, this indoor time is meant to encourage you to think creatively and spiritually.

KEVIN/KIRK: When will the quarantine end?

ALAN: They're not sure, but everyone's hoping within one year or so, my dear boys.

KEVIN/KIRK: Why'd you buy us the dentist toy set while we're living indoors?

ALAN: That's because living inside will encourage you to think creatively about lifestyle and habits.

KEVIN/KIRK: We could just watch television!

ALAN: No, too much television is bad for you; you need some hands-on play and learning away from that.
KEVIN/KIRK: What if the Coronavirus never ends and we never have to go to the dentist?
ALAN: The virus will be cured; everyone is praying; right now, you have to think about creative thoughts!

KEVIN/KIRK: Yes, that sounds right.
ALAN: Very cool; keep playing with your dentist toys and I like watching you play when I get home from work.

KEVIN/KIRK: Your patients at the dentist office are happy you can see them during the quarantine?
ALAN: You bet, my dear boys; they're grateful to know doctors are still available for serious care!
KEVIN/KIRK: Did you have a dentist toy set when you were a kid, daddy?

ALAN: No, my dear boys, I did not, but seeing how much you like your toy set makes me wish I did.

KEVIN/KIRK: Maybe sometimes, you can play with us!
ALAN: That sounds interesting; I suppose I can offer you some serious dentistry advice.
KEVIN/KIRK: You're a doctor!
ALAN: Right; don't worry Kevin/Kirk; this virus will not conquer our human frailty.
KEVIN/KIRK: Cool; thanks dad.
