It does help when you have a cool dentist. Mine has a nifty sense of humor and a nice tech who was fairly impressed with my “made it myself ’cause I was just that damm bored” tote bag.

Other things that were found amusing about me:
The fact that I had my appointment time written on my hand. (My short term memory sucks sometimes.)
My ability to give myself a french braid. (Shrug. I like to braid.)
My intrest in/knowledge of the rat pack. (It’s all Bill’s fault.)
