Drabble #12: Laughing Gas
Prompted by: from a hopeless teen
Patricia
Right now I am sitting in the waiting room of the dentist's office. Eddie had to get teeth pulled and begged me to come with him. I had never gotten teeth pulled before, but I've heard you're okay at first, because you're all drugged up, but then like an hour later, you'll be screaming because of the pain. That's what awaits Eddie's afternoon, and mine: taking care of him. Yay.
Just as I am getting lost in thought, one if the dentists return with Eddie, who is barely even able to walk. "Here ya go, there's some gauze in that bag, it needs to be changed about every 2 hours. We gave Mr. Miller here some laughing gas sort of thing, and he's pretty out of it. But he should return to normal in about an hour or so." The dentist says, while I nod in return, then take Eddie by his arm.
"Come on, over here." I sigh, leading him out the door. We get in the car, and I begin to drive home.
"Ya know, I don't get why you people drive on the wrong side of the road, they could easily get in a car accident." Eddie says, sounding like a little child. "Is your real name Patricia? Or is it actually Patty, or Pattycakes, or maybe Trixie... Wow! You have a lot of names, don't you?" I literally just burst out laughing at this, and continue to drive. I am pulling into the parking lotwhen Eddie speaks up again: "Whoa! That's a really big house. It looks like a doll house. I wonder if they keep life size dolls in there. Maybe I'm a life size doll! I bet Pinocchio's one of them..." I roll my eyes at this.
"Come on, we're gonna go into the dollhouse." I take his arm, and pretty much drag him into the house. "Just sit here on the couch, and I'll be right back- okay?" I nod, sitting him down. I quickly go up the stairs, put my purse and everything away when I here none other than Eddie yelling. I run down the stairs to see him laying down on the couch, holding his mouth.
"Oh thank gosh, Patricia! What happened to me? My mouth hurts so much right now and I don't remember anything that's happened this morning..."
"Okay, thank goodness your better- sort of- umm well let's just say you went to the dentist, got teeth pulled, and you were all hyped up on laughing gas. You kept blabbing about random things, and it was really weird..." I laugh, while he looks at me curiously.
"Really? Took care of me, did ya Yacker?" He smirks.
"Haha very funny." I retort.
"Not as funny as me hyped in laughing gas, eh?"
"Very true." I nod, and we both begin to laugh.
Yay! Another update! I want to thank everyone who has reviewed! Also! As you know, yesterday I said in my update that I was sick. Yeah... Well it was only like a 24 hour thing so I'm feeling pretty good! Not 100% yet, I'd say about maybe 75... And can't wait to see if HOA won the KCA or not! Even though I live in America, I'll find out... I have my ways... Plus, who doesn't like Eddie all loopy and stuff? Haha lol... Jadekley looked so cute last night at the KCA'S! Awes! Well, that's enough of my rambling.. I might update later, so... C ya!
