A Trip To The Dentist

Today I went to the dentist.

I don't know about you but when I go to the dentist I see the hygenist first.  The hygenist takes a look, asks some questions, cleans everything up & calls the dentist to come in. The dentist comes in & the following is the conversation we had.

Dentist: Hi.  How're you?
Me:  Good thanks, you?
Dentist: Not bad, not bad.
Me: You look good, thinner.
Dentist: Really?  Thank you!  I think it's just the skinny jeans I'm wearing.  (We both giggle a little awkwardly)

Dentist: Open up.  Oh wow you have a teeny, tiny mouth.  I always forget that.  (pause) Well it all looks good.  I don't know why I see you so often, I could see you every 10 years & all would be well since you take such good care of your teeth.  Bye, see you in 6 months.

After a minute I yell into the hallway: "Six months? I thought you said 10 years?!
From down the hallway I hear: "She's so funny!"

Now if she only looks in my mouth for 30 seconds why the heck am I paying her so much?!  And if she tells me she doesn't have to see me very ofter because I do such a good job why the heck do I have to come back to pay her for her "time" again in 6 months???
