A Wednesday that felt like a Monday

Neddy needs a dentist. To avoid the steeper language barrier of phone conversations, I went to a pediatric dentist in-person to make the appointment.  Fortunately, someone at reception spoke English. Unfortunately, she said because we don’t have our insurance cards yet, I need to pay for the appointment in cash. Oh, the cash.

Following my clueless plea for guidance, she took out a stack of forms. She hesitated and said,

​“You need to fill these out, but they’re in German. Do you have someone to help you that speaks German?”
“No. Is there a place I can go to get help like that?”
“No. Maybe google translate.”
