It has been a long time coming. I don't disregard the fact that everyone says I am blessed with a "young face" or "good skin". But all of the sales people that come to my door have already been asking if "the lady of the house is available?" or "are your parents home?" so now it really makes for an even worse attempt as presenting myself as a responsible adult.
(Thank you Hipstamatic! You make us already freckly-face ladies look like we have rashes all over)I must say to all of the friends and family who said, "Braces? What for? You didn't need braces!" I say "PSHAW! Have you ever seen these chompers?!" My sister knows. The queen of ridicule (as I remember growing up with her) In her snidest of snide voices "your tooth should have a sign on it that says next tooth one mile!" *cackle! cackle!* {she sounds like a witch when she laughs} but I love her.
Oh, and to my dear friend Marina, who said "No!!" and covered her mouth when I told her I was going to get braces to get rid of my 'Madonna gap'...thanks for telling me it gave me character. I guess it kind of did. I never realized that before. It was just my flaw that brought shame and embarrassment prior to that. Hopefully the content of my character can consist of other things less gappy.
