What have you done today? (Pt 2)

['andersom']

I take him down the road where we have a barber next door to a hairdresser.  He goes to both.  Sometimes starts off in the hairdressers and then scoots off to John the Barber.   (it's OK I know them, the barber used to cut my Dad's hair)

Last time the hairdresser had got some new magic super quiet clippers, so I suspect he will choose her first.

He wants tramlines but they are not allowed at school. 

Awww, my SIL does them even on kindergarten kids. They are allowed in schools here. Not very extreme, but just a few lines or a lightning bolt.

I nicked some candy from the kitchen, and I hung my laundry.
Also brought two bags with clean stuff with me downstairs that need to be mended, ironed, fitted or thrown away.
Time to get rid of the accumulation of clean clothes like that. Got through one of those bags yesterday. Want to get through these two too. Then I will have no more remnants hanging about (that I know of...).

He would fidget too much anyway.  Would end up with half a tramline.  He can have some at Easter. 

I am clearing out clothes too.

The first haircuts I can remember were done by the old barber of my dad. He whistled with every cut he made, to distract kids. Or he would bring in his parrot, to keep attention elsewhere. He was cool.
Saw him at the funeral of my Dad, last year.
I liked the barbershop much better than hair-salons.
Now almost all are hairdressers. Would not know a single barbershop in the cities nearby. Some still specialise in men though. Less chit chat, nicer work, according to my SIL.

I was at the dentist's and got my tooth fixed. I have to say, dentists are anxiety-inducing.

I would wish my dentist upon you.
Have seen him deal with anxiety attacks in one of my kids, without any flinching, but very effective. Assistant was getting wound up, asking me what was happening. I answered, "this is autism". But the dentist just managed to calm me kid down so much that afterwards, she said, thank you. And she did not like talking to people at all at that time.
And he managed to prevent my anxiety from going over the top, when he had to sedate me, I am scared of sedation. (I've known him a very long time) He just grabbed me in the neck, added pressure, and said, Hyke, I'm going to get you through OK. And he did.

They don't seem much 'fun'.   I wonder what a dentist xmas party would be like?

I've had a few dentists, but my oldest, he can roll on the floor laughing, literally will drop out of his chair. (not during work, thank goodness) His deemed successor, he's a homourless creep. But, now his nephew is taking over. He's got a sense of humour, an assistant that makes me think of you, (she is wicked) and he is very good looking. So, I'm not complaining.

The guy on call today had a very dry sense of humour.

"Do you need an anaesthetic? "
"Nah, let's start without it but you'll know what to do if I scream."
"There's no one but us here, so it's OK."

Yeah, I laughed, too.

He knew what he was doing, though. I didn't have to scream.

I used to have a scary dentist.  Very hairy arms.  Yuk.  When this video came out I actually switched to a lady.

Apparently it is that scary that Dutch people aren't allowed to watch it.
