So I went to the dentist the other day. It was the first time I had been in a while, so I had a pretty thorough cleaning. I have always thought that my dentist is cute; or at least, I have always imagined that she is. I have never seen more that the upper half of her face, because she's always wearing a surgical mask. But I have nothing better to do than stare at her face while she's picking at my plaque; in fact, I can't really see anything else. So I have filled in the blanks in my mind. She's got glasses and a little mole next to her eye. Sounds cute right? She kinda looks like this:

Not bad, right? Anyway, the other day I saw her with her mask off for the first time, because she had to answer the phone. The reality did not match my expectations at all! Instead of two rows of dainty white, nicely aligned teeth, her mouth took up pretty much all the space behind the mask, and it was filled with teeth of all different colors going all different directions. She wasn't really bad looking or anything; it's just that you always kindof expect a dentist to have good teeth for some reason. I always thought that it was for hygienic reasons, but I guess that's why she wears that mask all the time.
