Orthodontic Adventure

School will be interrupted today for the beginning of the Artist's orthodontic adventure. I hope she does not have too tough a time of it.

When I was 15 I got my braces. I didn't have the extreme discomfort some of my acquaintances complained about, but there were two or three days following each appointment when my mouth would be sore and tender and I only wanted to eat soup.

Perhaps I didn't think it was too bad because I've always liked soup. Now I'm wondering to myself if this adventure will help the Artist become a soup lover!

Oh nasty braces--I got them in 5th grade and had then until I was 16. But at least my teeth are straight!
