Do the hygienist hula

So I went to the dentist this morning. It's a nice office right down from my house, and I posted a question on facebook asking what flavor of fluoride I should choose. The last time I went, I remember them having enough flavor options to rival a local Dairy Queen. So the dentist came and did his thing, and the hygienist broke out her 2009 fluoride catalogue (complete with a three panel centerfold). I was considering my options and leaning toward something between Strawberry and Bubble Gum when she said, "You know, I think you should try Pina Colada. You'll really like it." My thought was first, "What's wrong with the Pina Colada? It's it expired? Does no one like it? Do they have a whole back room full of Pina Colada fluoride that they need to clear out?"

But I didn't have anything against the flavor, so I decided to try it. She did a little hula hipshake and slid it into my mouth, and I nursed coconut gooeyness for the next two minutes.

The funniest thing was when I came home and without being baited, Tiffanie said, "Did you get Pina Colada fluoride?"
