Mom Gets Braces

Years ago I had to get braces on my teeth.  Yes, even at an adult stage people called me metal mouth and a few other words.  Like always I ignored them. 

When they were first put on, the teeth really hurt to the point I couldn't chew food.  Mashed potatoes were the best.  I didn't have to chew, just swallow.  The one night I made the kids hot dogs.  They smelled so good.  You guessed it, I pureed the hot dogs.  The kids stared at my plate in disbelief.  What is it?  When I said hot dog they all laughed.  When I scooped it up they laughed even harder.  For about a week I was like this.  Then came summer and sweet corn.  Who doesn't like fresh sweet corn on the cob.  I know I can't eat it off the cob, so I cut it off the cob and ate it.  I did have a problem with some foods but figured out most.  So just remember at any age braces are a challenge but there is a way around them!.....
