Scene from the Dental Chair

I went today for my dental checkup, and brought "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" with me to read while I waited.  The hygienist asked me what I was reading, and when I told her what it was about, she lit up.

"Oh! I tried a vegetable garden last year for the first time.  It was the first, and the worst!  Nothing grew."

"Are you going to try again this year?"

"Of course - I'm no quitter!"

Gotta love that hardy New England spirit....

Haha, cool. At least you can talk about something to relieve the tension you feel while on the dental chair. My dentist and I usually talk about race cars and football to relax me while he operates on my mouth. Of course, I can't speak with my mouth wide open, so he does most of the talking.
