A Reason To Smile

After about two weeks, we got a call from the dentist's office.
I didn't even know about it until my mom gave the phone over to me. What could this possibly for. I asked my mom first and she told me that it's about my retainers.

RETAINERS.

So then I took over the phone and I was asked when I'm available to have an appointment. It's good that there's no school on Friday so I will be going to the dentist that day.
I need someone to come with me on that day since my dad can't drop me off. Come with me?

I got two appointments. One on Friday and another one next Saturday which is at 8:30 am!

I'm making a big deal out of this, huh? That's because I never experienced having braces or retainers before and it would be cool to find out what it would feel like to wear them. Also, my dad almost didn't want me to have one. It was a total blackmail! He said, "do you want it for aesthetics or do you want to use the money to buy a ticket for the Philippines?"

The dentist said I needed to have retainers or my teeth are going to start moving. It's so soon that I'm getting my retainers, so that's a reason to smile. Plus, it's only for my bottom teeth.
