Sir Dentist

showered me with the most delightful news today. All four of my wisdom teeth are to be wrenched out in one sitting without the help of the novacainesz.

Receptionist Chris put her hand on my shoulder and said, “One time, this big black man had to get all four extracted too, and well, let’s just say the doc looked like he was pulling with all his might like he was trying to reel in a massive shark from the depths of the sea.”

What dental office receptionist would feed such descriptives into my already whirring brain?

“But you honey,” she continued, “you’re a girl and you’ll be fine, just you wait and see!”

But I don’t want to see. :(

This is going to hurt, right?!
