carpe dentum

last week at the dentist's office...

Dr. B: Yeah, you really did a number on your tooth.

Me (with lots of tools & cotton in my mouth): arfuafhfhagef

Dr. B: I see. Now I'm just going to drill with this and gouge with that and splash a lot of water around while my daring assistant slurps up the mess.

Me: afflfllsfalfldls

Dr. B: Very good. If it hurts, just let me know.

Me (eyebrows shoot up, intensified gaze): AFLFLSLSLFLSF!! (i am not a fan of dental pain)

Dr. B: That's right. (resumes working on my poor tooth) Remind me again, where was it you were supposed to go...

Me: fofkm

Dr. B: Oh yes, Rome. Well, this is hardly a fair exchange.

Me: fmafdskfda (translation...ya think??!?!!)

On the next visit remind me to tell Dr. B.to stick a poster of the the Fontana di Trevi on his ceiling!!

This made me laugh out loud. Of course, I was laughing WITH YOU, not at you! Why do dentists insist on trying to carry on a conversation with you while all their tools are in your mouth?

I do hope that your dentist's sparkling wit was offered free of charge....

Like Bugs Bunny said: always a wise guy ;)

Oh, God bless you. I detest going to the dentist. Uggghhhh....

And to think we PAY for the aggrevation!

Hope you have a happy weekend, anyhow.

I've never understood why the dentist thinks small talk is a good idea.

Hope everything is better now.

I am petrified of the dentist. Hope all is better now!
