Dentist's Ferrari / Calvin's Capri

False teeth I'm getting!

This is the second time.  The first set got badly chipped, then I had some teeth pulled, so they became defunct.

This time I've retuned to the office to get a fitting and tooth color matching.  All is well.  I'm sitting there patiently (pun not intended) waiting in the up-and-down chair while Dr. Dentist is behind me shaving and shaping the applied foam on the mold.  

Me:  Was your father a dentist?

Dr:  No, my uncle was.  My dad was an engineer.

Me:  Did you ever think you'd be putting your hands inside the mouths of so many people?

Dr:  LOL, I liked the tools, LOL.  And I wanted a Ferrari.

Me:  Did you get one?

Dr:  No, I got kids!  I drive an SUV now.

Me:  I had an RX8, before that I had a Mercury Capri.

Asst:  I had my dad's car, and I raced up and down Highway 19.  I don't think he ever knew.  (giggles)

Me:  I never knew what exactly my son did, either.  He loves speed, to race up to stop signs or intersections.

Me:  After awhile that little Capri got so it lugged, acted draggy under a load.  Then I lent it to Calvin, my son.  After that it ran great.  

Dr:  Oh, yah?

Me:  I asked hubby and he said Calvin burned the carbon out of it. 

Doctor continues to whittle, assistant stands ready to hand him instruments, both listening.

Me:  I asked Calvin aboout it, he grinned cheekily and said, "If I was you I wouldn't go downtown near the fairgrounds any time soon."  I asked him, "Why?  Did you get a ticket?"  He replied, "Ma-ay-beee......"

The three of us laughed. 

It was good.  

A good job by a relaxed happy dentist.

A happy dentist makes good false teeth.

False teeth I'm getting.  It's an inside job.
