goodbye, elastic bands
Yesterday HY had his braces removed. Around two years ago he was complaining to me about a minor ache at his jaw, the dentist adviced that wearing braces was necessary, so there follows the life of a man in his late 20s regressing to teenage appearance. Upon the announcement of this new teeth gear, I said an awful joke about his mouth looking like a horse's, which made him rather upset. But yesterday, HY was pleased with his new look. So long elastic bands and hannibal gear! Braces do make a difference to one's profile. Now he is suggesting that we both use electric toothbrushes. I, on the other hand, have a negative view towards this device; it's the worst sign of a modern human being who is too lazy to even brush his/her own teeth. Who knows what we'll have machines do for us next?
