It's a smell from childhood... it brings to mind Highlights magazine and picking a prize from the treasure chest. Who doesn't love picking a prize? Oh! Then you got to pick out a brand new toothbrush in whatever color you wanted which was always awesome. And floss. Your very own flavored floss. Woot! Those were the days, eh?
It's also the smell of cavities being filled, which brings to mind drills on teeth and that plaque scrapper and the taste of fluoride. Oh and having to bite down on that stupid X-ray card that cuts into your gums.
And the numbing.
I remember when I was younger getting my cavities filled and being numb for the rest of the day (I react quite strongly to Novocain).
It's a weird line between happy nostalgia and painful nostalgia. Even weirder when talking about the dentist.
Today was quite the day. Dentist in the morning. Race packets in the evening.
I'm so excited for the color run this Saturday! It's going to be fantastic. Absolutely fantastic!
