Overheard in the Waiting Room
I had to go to the dentist this morning to get a couple small cavities filled. My dental work is finally complete after a couple years of totally neglecting my teeth! At any rate, this is a rather large dental practice and people from all walks of life go there. The waiting room was particularly busy today. On one end of the room was a 60-something year old woman with her adult son and she was talking about going “bedroom TV shopping” later in the day because “she has to have one.” Apparently her old one died. On the other side of the room there was a guy who looked like he just walked in from a bar fight (entirely possible, since the office takes walk-ins). Meanwhile, on the TV someone was talking about ephedra weight loss products. It was all just a little odd. I was happy that I didn’t have to wait long to get called back to the dentist’s chair!
