Anything But Gray

horrible images your mind can think up in exactly 1.5 seconds?
I do and do you want to know how I came about this little gem of knowledge?
I'll do a little over sharing here….

I went to the doctor the other day. I wanted to do a GYN appointment before we moved so I wouldn't have to deal with finding a new doctor right away when we move. I love our doctor.  I have been going to him since I got pregnant with Jaime and I am super comfortable with him.  So when my feet are up in the stir ups and I've scooted my butt down to the end of the table and Dr. Wonderful rolls over on his stool and assumes the inspection position, I'm completely at ease. Zak is standing at the side of the table up by my head and we're just chatting and I'm waiting for the doctor to do his thing and get out of there so I can go about my day. The doctor pauses and asks "Can I ask you a cosmetic question?"

There.
Right there, in that split second after the question was asked, I fit about 5 thousand horrible ideas of what he could possibly want to know! I thought to myself…"okay, I know they aren't pretty but I didn't think mine was any worse than other one I've seen" "Is something deformed and I haven't noticed?" Do I have a scar from childbirth?" "What the hell could he want to know!"
All this and MORE went through my head in that second.

And then he goes on to tell me he was just curious if I got a brazillian wax done because one of his patients does at a local spa and she keeps getting ingrown hairs that get infected and he was wondering how common that was among his patients. I told him "No, I just shave every shower, which works just fine for me."  And then we had a conversation about the merits of shaving or waxing.

Cracked me up and I had no problem having the conversation, like I said I'm super comfortable with this doctor, but the question and the timing of the question is what made me laugh.

I mean, come on…what would you think if your GYN peered at your naked girl parts and asked
"Can I ask you a cosmetic question?"

See?

Scary!
