>> NARRATOR: Dani has had an exciting couple of days - she lost her tooth, her mom told her she’s going to the big kid dentist, and it’s all so EXCITING!  

 

In fact, it’s so exciting that it’s all Dani can think about as she’s lying in bed, drifting off to sleep.

*In the process of denting things* Oh - didn’t see you there.


>> DANI

Who are you? Where am I?


>> DENT-IST

>> DANI

Dents? Wait - are you a Dent-ist?
