La Vie Quotidienne

Blog 2, entry 1. Status of blog: unknown.

I was in the dentists chair this morning (maybe a story about the dentist isn't a good way to get a blog going, but I was told to go back to the beginning) and I was thinking how amusing it is that they try to talk to you while working on your mouth.
"Where did you graduate?" He asks with my mouth open as wide as it can go and so numb I can't feel the drool running down my chin (I would hate to be the assistant whose job it is to clean up).
Where did I graduate? Really? I'm past graduating. How old do you think I am? I know I'm young but it's been 6 years. Been there, done that. No I didn't go to college. Yes I view myself as a successful person.
I mumble a response and he takes his hands out of my mouth and the hygienist uses that little vacuum tube to suck up my drool. I can't decide if he actually understood what I said but he continues talking as if he did. And I wonder, when did you graduate? After all, your hands are in my mouth with a drill and a pointy thing you call 'the explorer'. Shouldn't I be asking you this?
Than he gets me laughing with this silly joke I can't even remember. I really want to tell him to stop making me laugh, but he seems to enjoy this. Honestly, I think he likes it. He continues to to ask me questions. He knows I can't answer. It's like a form of torture. American Dentist Torture vs. Chinese Water Torture. Who would win? You tell me!
I'm sure you are reading this and wondering why my first entry is about the dentist. It seems random. Maybe even stupid if you think about it. But as I sat there I began to think how funny daily life can be. The whole scenario reminded of Bill Cosby's skit about the dentist and I laughed my head when I saw it (look it up on youtube or something. It's worth it). You don't have to look very far to find interesting new things. They are all around you. It's how you view those things that make them funny or not; interesting or not. So, here goes a blog that I don't know whether it's going to be funny or interesting or boring or creative or what. But I do hope that my readers will enjoy reading about La Vie Quotidienne!
P.S. I promise that my entries will not all begin with French titles ;-)
P.S.S. Hopefully I'll keep this one up better!
