More tales from the dentist
I had my last appointment today of the cavity plan which means that if my three upper right back teeth feel fine in a couple days I won't have to come back EVER. This is great news since I've been funneling all of my income into oral hygiene. Now (as I promised Heather last week) I can start devoting my disposable $25-extra-a-month income to cooler things like traveling to Weed.
Before I got out of there though, I had to endure over an hour of mind-numbing discussion between the staff working on my teeth...
Dentist: So I just saw a picture of my brother's baby. She is so hairy!
Hygienist: Aww, your brother had a baby.
Dentist: Hairy! Hairiest baby I have ever seen! Hair everywhere! The hair is ON her forehead. It is ON her legs. The hair is everywhere!
Hygienist: Is she brown? [Ed. note: I don't know what this means. I don't think the (Korean) dentist did either.]
Dentist: No...? She's HAIRY.
Hygienist: Do Asian babies have a lot of hair?
Dentist: Not really. I guess that's how my brother was. But she is so hairy!
Hygienist: Have you seen Mexican babies? They get hair ON THEIR EARS!
Dentist: My brother's baby is so hairy.
Hygienist: It will fall off. What is her name?
Dentist: Sammy.
Hygienist: Oh, short for Samantha?
Dentist: No, actually, but it's spelled funny. I guess my brother wanted to be unique. It's S-A-M-I-E. She is so hairy.
Hygienist: What's her middle name?
Dentist: I can't remember; it's Korean. She is so hairy.
Hygienist: Your family must be so excited because she is the first grandchild, right?
Dentist: Yeah, my mom takes so many pictures and then she carries her camera around to show everybody. If that was me I totally wouldn't show pictures until the kid looked presentable.
Comments
I knew this hairy kid one time. He went to my elementary school and his name was Esau. He sold his birthright for a bowl of, um, chicken noodle soup.
That is a real story of my life and not one I stole from the Bible.

I'm still not understanding how you got cavities NOW when you went through all your youth without any...

My dad, a kindergarden teacher, had a hairy kid named Chewbacca, you know Star Wars. Well, in high school he changed his name to something like Jesse. Poor kid. True story; I've seen the yearbook photos!

you know, you really should have reversed the order here - you would have fit in a lot better in Weed if you had shitty teeth.
