At the dentist

Today was the big evaluation day: had I (and the parents) or had I (and the parents) not succeeded in my (our) bi-daily effort to banish caries trolls from my mouth? I knew exactly what to do when the dentist asked me to "open up wide" and (kind of) what to do when he asked me to rinse. But I did get a bit distracted (and positively surprised) by the Tom And Jerry movie that was playing on a screen just in front of my face. Mom and dad had not prepared me for that.
And the answer? Well, take a look at white-coats... What do you think? No, dentists don't smile when they find dental cavities. They are professionally trained to hate bad teeth, even if bad teeth are what pays their bills. Me, I was a total loss. (The exam was free of charge, and they gave me a cool doctor's kit afterwards.) And as you can see, they totally loved it.
