A Trip To The Dentist
Now see, this is the kind of danger you run into with that kind of attitude.
You were always one to throw capital letters into the conversation when you felt the need to sound Very Important. Yes, yes, we know, it takes a lot of skill to be able to capitalize spoken words. But you should have known better than to abuse that talent! When you capitalize something, that means it's, well, Important. Special. Different, even. And if you keep toying with Important, Special, Different things, eventually they're going to notice you.
So you had a dentist's appointment today, and of course you had to announce it like it was the most important thing in the world. "Oh, I'm going to The Dentist this afternoon!" And guess what? Although you went on to point your car in the direction of your local dentist's office, when you reached your destination, you found the building was replaced with The Dentist's office.
You'd be hard-pressed to call it an office, though. It's rather more like a circus tent, or perhaps a yurt. It's mostly orange, but with plaid stripes down the side. The little triangle flag at the top is blowing dramatically in the wind, or at least as dramatically as a tiny little red triangular flag can look when it's fluttering frantically. Which is to say, not very.
You can distinctly remember that there used to be a building here, a dentist's office, and not this cloth contraption. Your appointment is in four minutes.
