I got my braces off
this morning! On the one hand, I am super excited! Popcorn! Apples! Caramel!
Other banned foods!
But on the other hand, a giant retainer.
I'm missing a tooth. It's genetic (thanks, mom). So, in addition to the
regular clear plastic retainers, I have a separate one with a fake tooth
attached. It's awful. The taste alone is enough to make me ill. I have to wear
it, or else I look like a gap toothed pirate.
So, I have a beautiful smile, but I have lisp about fifty times worse
than Cindy Brady's. It ith driving me abtholutely crathy.
Onth again though, it ith all about perthpective.
I am very blessed to have a mom who wants me to have nice teeth and I am
very lucky to have gotten braces. I have all of my teeth except one, and none
of them are misshapen.
Maybe I can ask the All-Powerful Limbo Stick to use it's great and
terrible powers to give me a tooth. There's always Saint Nicholas too, I
suppose.
On different note-
Nathanael over at What
A Wonderful Journey (if
you're not reading his blog, you should be. He's hilarious) and I read Act One,
Scene Three of Hamlet on Wednesday in English. Out loud. To the class. If
you're not familiar with the play, this is the scene where Laertes tells his
younger sister, Ophelia to "then weigh what loss your honor may
sustain, if with too credent ear you list his songs, or lose
your heart, or your chaste treasure open to his unmaster'd
importunity". Translation: Don't have sex with Hamlet. People will think
you are a shameless hussy. It's a great scene, and Ophelia tells Laertes
to keep it in his own pants and I honestly think that they have a really great
sibling relationship.
I don't know about Nathanael, but reading that scene
was definitely a highlight of my week.
