Retained

Well, just as things began to calm down from the Great Room Painting, a new crisis has arisen.

My daughter had a followup checkup with her orthodontist today, and he asked her if she was wearing her retainer routinely. She admitted that she was not, and, in fact, was not sure where it was, what with the room being completely disassembled. He was not thrilled, telling her that if she didn't find it, she'd need to get a new one.

A new one is $75.00. She has about $90 in cash right now.

I should not feel guilty about making her pay for it. But I do.

I wore retainers for years! I only had to fish it out of trash cans (it was wrapped in a napkin) a couple of times, and once get it back after a busboy took my plate away with my retainer still on it. But I don't think I ever actually lost one. Hopefully your daughter's will turn up!
