Thursday Thirteen, 17th Edition
Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Thursday, March 11th, 2010

This has been a hard week of ups and downs.
Physically exhausted.
Mentally drained.
Emotional roller-coaster.
Self-pity parties galore.
But in the midst of it all, I can’t help but find a little humor.
Just a little though…. that’s why my usual 13 has dwindled down to 3 today.
1. As I finished treating a darling old man from the state nursing facility, one with few remaining verbal skills, as his transport nurse and I were getting him back into his wheelchair, his britches fell to his ankles! The nurse and I looked at each other in total surprise and about that time, he laughed. A throaty deep “Huhuhuhuhu” that sent us both into gales of laughter as she reached down to pull his pants back up. Lemme just say, “Thank goodness for boxers”!
2. One day I treated a very small 3 year old boy. He was a great first time dental patient! As a reward, I had let him generously get treats from the toy box. He picked out a bright green and a bright yellow rubber balls out of the box. As he waited for me to finish his paperwork right outside my treatment room doorway, one of my coworkers came up the hall and said to him, “Awwww, don’t you just have two cute balls!” With my mind clearly in the gutter, I started laughing and said, “Do you realize what you just said??” She cracked up and said “I meant the ones in his HAND!”
3. I walked into the ballet school where my girls take class and another mother in class saw me and reaching for her phone, said, “Ohhhh that reminds me! My husband has a dental appointment in the morning! I better call and tell him.” I just laughed and said, “Yeah, I seem to have that effect on people.”
On another note, my sweet friend Stacy celebrates her birthday today – so ya’ll go wish her a happy one!!
