There is a pediatric dental office near me that calls itself Kid’s Dental - singular possessive. I have resisted the temptation to go in and ask them if they only care for one child.

They have no qualms about using the gov't to foist their own religious beliefs on the children in public schools without letting the parents decide how they want their children raised.
