Dentist--Savannah
I had a dentist appointment this morning. 8 am. I am so not a morning person. NYU Dental. Real nice place. They have top of line equipment. I arrived just in time for my appointment. I did not have any coffee yet, and I was suffering from only a few hours of sleep the night before.
There was a cute girl with her mother in the waiting room with me. Her name was Savannah. She was there for her 6 month check up. Same for me. She showed me her new shoes that she just got. Bright patton leather. She was so excited. She asked me if the dentist would give her a lollipop if her teeth were good. I laughed and told her I did not think so. Somehow candy and the dentist do not go hand in hand.
She then told me she was going to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway tomorrow night. Kids. They crack me up. They just volunteer information to you and don't care if you want to know or not. It's her first Broadway show. She is so excited. She told me all about the Disney movie. I told her that she was going to love the show. Her mother saw my musical book. I was going through new material that my musical director had sent me. She asked me if I knew any songs from the show. We started to sing Belle, the opening number. Strange I remembered all the words. Savannah of course knew them all. She told me she has watched the move 45 million times. LOL
I got to thinking about my first time seeing a Broadway show. I'll never forget it. She asked me if I had seen the show. I told her three times. She then of course wanted to know everything about it. I told he about the amazing transformation that the Beast goes through. How he is lifted off the stage and starts to fly around. She said people can't fly. I laughed. I told her that the theater is a magical place, and that people can fly in the theater. Her eyes widened, showing more white, and she kept asking more and more about the show. Kids! The innocence. It's beautiful.
I know that I will probably never have any children, and I am okay with that. I love other peoples kids though. Here I was not looking forward to the dentist, and Savannah made it a great morning. I did not even get a caffeine headache from no coffee.
I will think of Savannah tomorrow night at 8pm. The lights dimming, the orchestra tuning, the anticipation of the curtain rising. I know she is going to love it.
