A Dentist With Rotten Teeth

I always wanted to become a dentist. I always told everyone that I could do it but of course no one believed me but I did not let that stop me. Now look at me 6 years later as a dentist I knew I could do it. As long as I have been working in this office, I’ve worked with a total of 143 patients so I have a lot of experience. One day a little boy was coming in for an appointment; when my assistant called his name he grabbed his mother’s hand and told her “Mommy no I don’t wanna go! He’s gonna rip all of my teeth out.”
I just laughed and said “Come on back buddy. I won't hurt you.” The little boy walked with me but looked frighteningly at his mother. “What's the problem today?” I asked. “Well my mom thinks I’m eating too much candy. She says I need to slow down before my teeth rot.” The little boy opened up his mouth wide like I asked him to do. “5 rottened teeth” I told him.“Okay! let me grab my tools and we will see what we can do.” A few hours passed, my patient is all done. I take the little boy out to his mother and as I’m walking back to my office I felt something being slipped into my pocket; It was candy being slipped into my pocket. Everyone knows I haven't had candy in years ever since I became a dentist.
As I reach into my pockets I say “I haven't had candy in years, I miss the taste.” I thought about it and just unwrapped the candy, I shoved it in my mouth dying to eat it and remember the taste. “Caramel with peanuts.” My next patient walks into the door; “Hi! What's your name?” I asked. “My name is Oscar, can you just get this over with, I have places to be and I really don't have time for chit chatting.” I don't say a word, I just go get my tools and begin to work.”You wouldn't have any candy on you would you?” I asked. “Sure, why do you want some?” “Yes, I would.” Oscar gives me the candy and I start to get real jumpy and I start asking for more. Oscar tells me he’s all out; the candy was gonna go anyway so why not give it to a dentist who can take care of their self.
It’s 8:15 which is my time to leave the office. I start my car up and sit there for a few minutes. As I’m sitting in my car I’m wondering if I should drive by a store to pick up some. There I had it, I started my car and drove to the market. I’m eating the candy while driving and as I’m driving I feel myself getting dizzy I pulled over; my eyes started to close and my hands began to slide off the steering wheel. The next day I wake up and see a random man in my face, I look around and I say to myself “This place looks familiar.” Oh gosh it's the dentist office, but wait why am I here? and why am I in the chair that I put all my patients in?

The End.
