Memories (Bonanza)

I still remember my first trip to the dentist. I was scared, but didn’t know why. My dad kept telling me I should act like a big boy and just let the dentist do his job. He’s only going to clean and check your teeth today. When I sat in the chair and saw all those gadgets, it brought a fear to me, even though I didn’t know what they were for. I was 6 years old.
 

Reading this again reminded me of when I was a kid. Our bedtime was 8:15 pm. My older sister wold run right upstairs while I would try to stall. I would ask my Mom if I had my cookies and milk etc. I wanted to stay up until 8:30 because I Love Lucy was on from 8 to 8:30 but I could never win. On Tuesday my Mom would go to Bingo and my Dad would watch us. He would sit on the floor in front of me and I would brush his hair and he would fall asleep. So I would stay up until right before my Mom came home from bingo, Boy did I love Tuesdays.

It was the smell. Even when I was an adult, that scent made me cringe.
