The dentist pulled one side one week and the other side the next week. That first week, even
with half my whole face numbed up with novocaine, I was so miserable that MiddleFingerMomMom
took me to this big ice cream place for an ENORMOUS thick chocolate milk shake.
.
I got my shake and we sat at a table and started talking. All of a sudden MFMMom started
laughing uncontrollably and couldn't stop. I was looking weirdly down towards the straw
because, though I was sucking for all I was worth it, that milkshake was too thick to come out.

So I thought.
.
In actuality, that shake was going straight from that straw to the other side of my mouth
and drool-CASCADING down my absolutely benumbed chin.

Sorry you're having such a terrible day.
