Dentists and Gynecologists. And my mother visiting possibly end of September!
I went to the dentist last Wednesday. It has actually been over a year, so it was probably a good idea that I was finally able to make an appointment. I go to the dentist recommended by majority of the CLLC-ers, Alison Lohman. She's good - if any of you are looking for a dentist around the Triangle Area, I'd suggest checking out her clinic.
Unfortunately, the person that actually worked on my teeth on Wednesday was not her. It was her younger, attractive assistant. Don't get me wrong, the assistant was obviously skilled, professional, and knew what she was doing.
But there is just something uncomfortable about having your mouth examined by an attractive person. I mean, it's natural to care or be concerned about what hotties think of you, right? Right? Regardless, I was feeling a bit violated. Luckily for me, my teeth were apparently in great condition (no cavities yay!), but then came questions about my hygiene habits.
Her: "So how often do you floss?"
Me: "Ermmm. ...whenever I remember to?"
Her: "Is that like once or twice a week?"
Me: "Sure I guess?"
Her: "How often do you brush your teeth?"
Me: "Oh every day. Definitely."
Her:"Is that just once a day?"
Me: "Oh. Right, Just once a day. I'd do it more if I had the time, you know?"
Her: "Uh huh."
Me: "...don't judge me?"
While all of this was occurring, I remembered that one of my female friends had told me the last time that she saw a male gynecologist for the first time fairly recently. At the time, I didn't make much note of it, but now thinking it over, I can imagine it being a similar circumstance, like so.
Him: "So how often do you XXXX your XXXXXX?"
Her: "Err. Once a week?" *insert nervous laughter*
Him:"And before and after sex? Do you XXXXXXXXXX your XXXX often before sex so you don't XXXXX your XXXX? And I hope you don't forget to XXXXXX after sex so you don't get infected with XXXXXXX."
Her: "Yeah, sure, doc. Do it all the time, no problem there, no worries at all. ...but if I weren't doing that, how would I fix the problem again?"
Him: "Mmm hmmm."
Her: "...don't judge me?"
Yeah, I don't know anything about gynecology check-ups or the maintenance of the female parts (nor do I care to know) so I used Xs instead. Use your imagination (or experience) to fill in the blanks.
By the way, the picture on wiki under "gynaecology" is hilarious!
My mom just called to let me know that she's probably going to come visit for a week at the end of September/beginning of October! Wheee!
