dental fluff

so today at pants palace is was the day of the dentist for the fluffy one . having had one of his teeth hit full on by a football last week and his usual dentist not being willing to see him at short notice i wandered him to mine cheeky yes but hey if you don't ask you don't get and i asked and i got. anyhow an hour several xrays , a long chat with the dentist about football and giggling that the xray of his teeth looked like fingers fluffy was told to come back today .
so back we went after school . the fluffy one used to filling his little face as soon as he gets out of school was mightily put out that i wouldn't let him eat anything before he got prodded , but after a few minutes face pulling he coped with the disappointment . we got to the dentist early . now when i say early i mean i couldn't remember what time i had booked couldn't find the appointment card in the carnage at pants palace and guessed the time. we were forty five minutes early. so to waste a little time fluffy asked if he could be a proper patient at my dentist because and quote fluffy ,
"My dentist is nasty . i like you better ."
that was the sentence that sealed the deal.now the fluffy one is a fully fledged member of my dentist and very happy he is to. while we sat there he discovered that some of his friends from school go there . the waiting room became like a social networking site for nine year olds at one point ,but as they all got seen one by one we were still waiting.
fluffy is a fidget a terrible fidget if there is a button he'll press it, a blind he'll pull it. at one point he went over to the counter and began prodding about to see what was on there. on the counter he found a pen attached to a chain and a ball that held the pen. fluffy being fluffy pulled the chain and the whole thing came off the counter and into his hand. glancing at the bottom of he announced,
"eww minging it's got chewing gum stuck to the bottom."
only to be told by the rather stern receptionist that it wasn't chewing gum but white tack.
by this point i had my head in my hands and was sliding into the chair in shame.
so replacing the pen and ball on the counter fluffy then checked under the chairs for gum danced to the radio while i died quietly inside.
i was so glad when we were called.
first thing fluffy notices is that the chair has changed colour from last week. now its red instead of green. he points this out to the dentist who tells him that it's to go with his school uniform which is red and grey. then fluffy looks out of the windows and asks what all the building work is for, to which the dentist who impresses me with his imagination replies, well we are making some more rooms. we knew you were coming back so we thought we'd make more room so when you get bigger you can still come to see us.
fluffy was suitably impressed by the answer and the following talk of paint colours that went with it .
and then the examination begins with fluffy pointing to parts of the dentists long line of buttons and gadgets and wanting to know which ones are about to be used on him. was he going to get the air that tickles or the scrappy thing ? where was the xray machine in this room ? why did they have water ? which button moved the chair and could he have some glasses for his eyes .
well his teeth are fine and he will be back in six months to see them . he promises faithfully to clean his teeth morning and night , and next time the dentist told him he could operate the chair and the light .
this is the dentist that small boys dreams are made of and fluffy is a very happy small boy right now.
so until next time dear readers the pants have left the building .
