This was something my Mom said every day, whenever she saw me. I don't know how beautiful they are, but I do remember lots of trips to the orthodontists and dentists. Braces, and rubber bands. Today the girls wear colored something or other on the braces, pink, purple, blue. That might have been fun, gone with the colors of our uniforms. My mother always said we looked like a group of Easter Eggs flooding out of school at the end of the day.
But of all the things my mother said, that's the one I hear in my head clearly: "You have beautiful teeth." Suddenly, it dawned on me she really was telling me something. I haven't gone to the dentist in over a year. I'm going this week!
Have a blessed Sunday!
