Trip to the dentist
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2017 8:13 am
Yesterday I went to the dentist for my 6-month checkup/cleaning. I usually have Sharon for the dental assistant who picks at my teeth. She knows me on a 1st name basis and knows that I'm CD and is totally OK with it. Well Sharon was out sick, so I got Monica instead.
I'd never had Monica before, so I decided to crack a couple Monica Lewinsky jokes just to "break the ice". That went well and pretty much set the tone for the rest of that visit.
When she started working on me, she bent over and laid her forearm diagonally across my chest. She said: "Oh, I see you're wearing a bra". She wanted to know what brand it was. I told her it was Maidenform. I said; "You know their slogan--We make mountains out of mole hills or vice-versa. Not really." We both had a good laugh off that one. She wanted to know how much of that was padding and how much was actually me. We had casual "girl talk" for the next several minutes. Nothing dirty or inappropriate, just good clean innocent fun. All-in-all, a very enjoyable dental visit.
Now some of you may say her conduct was "unprofessional". I would have to agree. However I must ask: What fun would life be if everybody acted "professional" all the time?
XOXO,
Deb
