Because life has a way of keeping you humble….

Just about the time you are feeling pretty good about yourself for losing 10 pounds, your dentist calls to tell you that the appliance he ordered to nudge your front tooth back into perfect alignment has arrived, and when you go to pick it up, you realize it’s a RETAINER. A retainer like you wore when you were 13.

And when you ask your dentist if it’s OK to wear the retainer when you are home and when you are sleeping, he tells you he isn’t sure that will be enough to move the tooth. So you have to wear it at work too and remove it only when you are going to be talking a lot or eating.

So much for the suddenly slimmer stomach and slightly lose clothing. They’ve just been negated by the contraption in your mouth. Any sex appeal you gained with the weight loss has been depleted by a mouth full of metal and plastic.

Good thing your husband likes girls with lisps.
