(I walk into the kitchen as my mother is on the phone)
M.P: Yes?
Mom: Â I would like to reschedule the date to a sooner time. Her bracket fell off her tooth. (Giggles while speaking)
M.P: All right then, what time and date would you like to reschedule?
Mom: Maybe, Thursday?
M.P: Sorry all our times are taken.
Mom: Alrighty, how about… Monday?
M.P: That is good for me! What time?
Mom: What your latest time open?
M.P: 11:30.
Mom:(Disappointed expression) Oooo, what is your earliest?
M.P: 7:45.
Mom: 7:45 sounds good to me.
And that is when I realized I was going to the…dun,dun,dun…orthodontist!
😂 I love this “other end” story! I like how you added humor, and finished the story. As a reader, I could tell what was going on, and was not confused. I enjoyed your story.
