Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hey Rogene, ea. When I went to see my new dentist a couple of years ago, the tooth-cleaning assistant was going to treat me (I am not sure if this is spelled correctly - maybe this is giving people candy - but I of course mean to say that she was going to clean my teeth) first. I was lying in the chair with the little bib on my bosoms and she asked me if I had " Any implants? " Although I did think it was sort of a peculiar question to ask at the dentist's office, I figured that they might give me different anesthesia or something if I might need it at some point. So I answered that I sure did have them. " Where are they located? " , the assistant asked. " Well " , I thought, " What an ignorant question; not on my back of course!! " , and answered enthusiastically: " Well – HERE! " while `cupping' my implants with both my hands and making a lot of `paper bib noise'. The very odd look on her face made me realize right away that she was talking about fillings/crowns etc. in my mouth! OOPSY....How could I be so dumb?! But I started laughing out loud (I laugh really hard), so she started joining me, fist a bit awkward, but later full into it – hahaha! I bet she shared that story with all her friends and colleagues! What can I say – it was just a language `problem'; even after 4 years in the US I am still lost in translation on a weekly basis (some weeks even daily – it all depends). BTW – my breath always smells like garlic (my husband says I have a special `retention program' going on – hihi). Hey – garlic is very healthy. Hope everybody is feeling okay today – have a good night: try to enjoy it!! Cheers, Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
