I should have done my geometry homework, but decided to post instead (such evils do I commit!).
The summer before fourth grade I got braces. I was really nervous and remember being told to think of it as a "big, expensive gift". I wanted a new bike more than a metal mouth. They told me that my teeth weren't too bad and that by the time I started middle school those things would be gone.
So I started fourth grade as the only girl in the grade and the only one with braces. And super-short hair. My school picture that year was quite flattering (I ought to post it just for laughs). Eventually some of my other friends got braces, so I had company. I jumped at every opportunity to defend any fellow metal mouth.
Well, by the time I started middle school them braces were still there.
They promised that I would have them off before high school, for sure.
Yeah.
Now, after two gum surgeries, I hope that by the time I'm a Senior they'll be off. Even so, I plan on doing my own Senior pictures, so I'll just photoshop the braces out.
My little sister got her braces off today.
In the meantime . . . .

Brace Yourself

Oh Lauren, I'm sorry. I was looking for a clue to your mysterious disappearance, but unless you stayed home because your sister got her braces off...
