Euuuughhhh!!!!Dentists!!!

What is it about Dentists that makes ur insides churn. It could be the smell of POP, the nasty smelling disinfectant /antiseptic-whatever, or maybe its just the expressions on the faces of the waiting patients- ranging from terrified, petrified-u know that glassy stare to looking just plain sick. The thought of opening ur mouth wide with a metal clanging against ur teeth is just not my idea of healthy treatment at ll...I mean , there u are ... mouth wide open, eyes open and there s this guy who is tearing ur jaws apart with those awful looking "jaw openers"..and peeking inside ur thraot and tutrting all the while... Why dentists must insist on speaking to u like u r an imbecile is something beyond my comprehension" Tut tut... we havent been flossing regularly" and u r expected to answer...answer???? plsssss..." gargleee....gargleeee" and he nods wisely. I ve always wanted to spring one on him ...pull the clamp from my mouth and ask...OK...so what exactly did i say.
The last time i went to get my braces tightened... excuse me...tightened??...more like a death grip on my teeth.I had this maniac pulling out the bracket ...hammering...against my teeth(or maybe that was my heart)..i mean there is only so much u can take....
So u scream...and this ...Person...shakes his head and pats...yes...PATS me on the head... and says...aaawww...does that hurt????I mean...where did this guy come from i wonder

My Thoughts

I was driving thru Adyar the other day and I was struck suddenly by how competent and efficient an Indian woman is. She comes across as a normal woman. She cooks for her family, takes the children to school , gets breakfast, lunch and evening snacks ready for those stay-at -home in laws,goes to yoga classes, music lessons, takes the kids to all those classes that must be attended to, whizzes around teh city on her motor scooter, gets back home, cooks for the night, gets the children to do their hw, then dinner and bed ...WOW!!! SuperMOM!!!! Food for thought...Are we appreciating these wonderful specimens enough???
