So what's worse than getting up early, driving an hour (each way) to the dentist's, getting your teeth/gums scraped 'til they bleed, and finding out you have 2 cavities that need filled ASAP? Being told to come BACK IN at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning to have them filled. Two fillings aren't that big of a deal in the scheme of things...not like a root canal or anything...but what a pain! You spend all weekend psyching yourself up for the pain, only to be told, "Hey, how's about thinking about it and hurting one more day?" Whee! If only Steve Martin really were my dentist...
On a funny note, we listened to the Chris Thomas sports show on the way up, and today's topic was controversial team names (Seminoles, Braves, etc.) One guy called in traumatized over his high school's mascot -- the David H. Hickman High School Kewpies. The announcers were laughing so hard when they pulled up the website that they were almost crying. So of course, that's the first thing we looked up when we got home. They weren't joking -- the mascot is some bastardized Kewpie doll/Casper the Friendly Ghost/Stay Puffed Marshmellow Man concoction. Truly frightening! Can you imagine being those poor boys out on the football field each week?
