Reply to comment by fireandiceofsong in TIL: Thanks to poor internal communication at NASA, information about a spacesuit water leak wasn't properly communicated. Later, Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned on a July, 2013 ISS space walk, his helmet filling with several liters of water before they could get him back inside. by OvidPerl

In The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (the first book specifically) there's a princess whose family keeps trying to get her into a fairy tale situation but it never works. They invite a wicked fairy to her christening, but the fairy just eats a lot of cake and dances with her uncle all night. She helps an old lady in the woods who's a powerful witch in disguise, but the blessing she gets is to never have any cavities. Etc.

Given the cost of dental (since dental is typically not or conditionally covered as part of universal health care for some reason), that's a pretty good blessing.
