Sam shared a little Mother's Day joy with me today by reminding me that I'm getting old! The conversation went a little something like this:
Sammie: Mom, will I ever have to have a retainer?
Me: Probably--once you have braces taken off you'll have to wear a retainer for a while to keep all the teeth in place. I only wore mine at night though.
Sammie: Why? I would want to wear mine in the day so I could sleep better at night.
Me: I felt like I talked funny with a retainer in the roof of my mouth.
Sammie: My friend has a retainer and she talks fine.
Me: Well, it made me talk funny.
Sammie: But Mom, that was in the old days. They're probably better now.
(I guess back when I pulled my handcart across the prairie to school, retainers just weren't what they are now!)
