just got back from a cleaning at the dentist... i have to say i think it's cruel that the hygienist asked me questions while cleaning my teeth, because she knew how to time them exactly right so that she would ask me something, and then with about 0.5 seconds to respond, would remove the tools from my mouth. to me this is unfair because she had the upper hand-- she knew i wouldn't have a lot of time to think about the answers. for example, it went something like this:
hygienist: what kind of music do you like best?
me: all kinds
real original, right? whatever.
hygienist [upon hearing i had just returned from a trip to michigan]: how do you think foreigners are treated in the midwest?
me: they are treated well
that seemed too complex for 0.5 seconds.
hygienist: what is your favorite thing about boston?
me: uh......
yeah, i didn't even answer that last one. i was annoyed with her at that point. i contemplated asking her complicated questions, but then realized i'd rather have her focus on the task at hand: sticking pointy metal instruments into my mouth.
