I went into the next town today to buy a train ticket to Berlin. I'm planning on going for a weekend soon and my plans keep getting thwarted by sold out trains. With the help of the family I was able to plan ahead enough to buy my ticket and make my plans official. I've been in Germany twice on connecting flights, but never left the airport. I've also flown through Belgium and Switzerland on this trip. A shame to be so close to a new place, but not actually visit it.
The kids had a dentist appointment today that they had forgot. I told the Kid he needed to get ready when the Mom called in a panic saying she'd be home to take them soon. He became instantly worried. Apparently he's afraid of the dentist. I spent a good 10 minutes explaining that sometimes it hurts, but usually they're just checking. He didn't seem to believe me.
When they got home, he told me with a little bit of surprise, "they didn't hurt me". It's nice to not get caught in a lie. I've never had a problem with dentists. People think I'm crazy when I tell them that I never had anesthesia for my fillings. Hopefully a couple more pain free visits for the Kid and he'll get over his fear.
