I was 10 or 11 the first time I took the subway to the dentist by myself, and had ice cream before getting on the subway home.
Today, I took the subway and 2 buses to the dentist, and stopped on the way home for ice cream. It was better ice cream, but ten-year-old![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
redbird was quite happy with a Good Humor ice cream from the newsstand downstairs from the dentist's office. (The dentist gave his young patients gift certificates, redeemable from that shop.)
The trip to and from the dentist was a lot easier when I was ten, because it was one subway train, an easy walk from home at one end and the dentist's office at the other. (This was before New York City ran into financial problems, and cut way back on subway maintenance.)
