The photo is blurry but do you see who visits this dental office for check-ups? A bit to the right of that card was a lovely greeting card with the entire Hilton family -- Paris looked exactly like she does when you see her getting arrested. I peered at that one, marveling that folks like them actually get together and pose for family portraits, but when I started to snap a photo, the hygienist walked in and I felt embarrassed so instead I pretended to be taking a photo of Sophie in the chair.
Speaking of the chair, I practically had to lie over Sophie while simultaneously holding down her hands and holding her head straight as the hygienist tried to clean her teeth -- given the last three days of boot camp and the fact that I haven't really exercised in months and months, well -- I feel as if I'm about one hundred years old and when I tried to straighten up, I almost screamed. Going to the dentist with Sophie probably ranks up there with calls to the insurance company over disputed claims.
Hugh Heffner?? Now that's something you don't see every day on the dentist's wall
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm a bit like Sophie at the dentist.
ReplyDeleteBest,

What a riot! Not your average, middle-American dentist's office clientele, eh? I love your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteThe dentist is ghastly at the best of times, but this sounds worse. It reminds me of a visit to one of our local gaps a few years ago who showed us her Christmas card from Kylie Minogue, her patient when in Australia. Strange what you find in doctor's and dental surgeries and the pull of celebrity, against the angst of domestic demands.
ReplyDeletei have missed you, i am now HOME!
ReplyDeletewell for one week....and then off again.
you are in my heart.

You would not find that sort of dentist's office in North Florida, honey. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteSo- BOOT CAMP! Tell us about it!
Love...Mary
HA! It was a big day for the dentist and holding down kids! I was doing the same thing today!
ReplyDeleteYour Paris comment made me laugh, and I hope Sophie's done with the dentist for a while!
ReplyDeleteYou get my award for the most unique post I've seen all week!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be embarrassed to have those folks as my clients. Ew.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have stumbled on your blog, too. I have so much to learn! You are so much more sophisticated than I am. I have a way to go. I like the poem very much and am inspired to share favorites of mine. Love the Hilton photo in the dentist office. It's like when Janice Dickerson was in my OBs waiting room. Just incase we didn't know who she was, she kept loudly yelling into her cell phone (sign on wall reads: no cell phones please) "This is Janice Dickerson." ;-)

ReplyDeleteI remember seeing the Hiltons on the wall of our first pediatrician. Needless to say it wasn't a ringing endorsement of his skillz
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments! I feel like I need to say that my dentist is FANTASTIC, despite his lame clientele. I adore him, and he is particularly great with Sophie which makes him a rare dentist indeed (there are notorious problems with special needs kids and dentists).
