just got back from the dentist to seal some cavities.she comes out all cheerful like "hiii anooon, how are you" and i'm thinking, alright, she's just being nice.then in the chair she tells me to raise my hand if it hurts, checking every minute if i'm ok. accidentally bumps one of my teeth with the little drill thing and instantly goes "i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry" like she just kicked a puppy.after we're done, she says "do you have to wait for your mother to pick you up?" mouth still half numb, i mumble "no 'eally," and she goes "oh, well, the session's already paid, you can leave :)" yeah, no kidding, i paid for it.then she tells me to "promise to come back if the filling feels wrong." promise? i'm 25.sure, i'm 5'7, baby-faced, can't grow a beard, but damn... i didn't think i gave off middle school energy.
