Braces: After

Well, this took me some days to figure out. I don't have braces. It's a miracle. Now, I'm stuck with this weird...how do I describe this...I have a bar behind my lower teeth. Its not a "bar" its more of a bar that runs behind my bottom teeth, that isn't straight. I'm supposed to have it seven years to life. Wonderful. I am never going to be metal free. Let me describe what happened...it literally took about 60 seconds to get the braces off (which by the way involved this huge clampy thing and it rather hurt) but then what took an hour was getting the cement that was glued to my face off. That involved something that sounded like a cross between a leaf blower, a chain saw, and something that goes ZOOOM ZOOM WHIRL WHIRL. Not much fun, but once I was finished I got a balloon (thats still floating in the house) and a bag of all that stuff I wasn't supposed to have but ate anyway.

First of all, IM GETTING STICKY BUNS TOMORROW. The last time I had them was when I got my braces on, and I couldn't eat them because it hurt too much. That was back when mom had to frappé my NOODLES because i couldn't chew them. It doesn't feel weird to have my braces off, it feels normal. The moment I got them off it feels normal. During lunch, when I had my braces, I would spend at least three minutes swishing water around in my mouth so I wouldn't be that kid with the big yuck stuck in her braces. I also ripped off pieces of my peanut butter sandwich and ate them, so the peanut butter wouldn't get in my braces. I still do all that, and I didn't even notice it until yesterday. :)

R.I.P.
