Question

【題目】 Saturday, 14th October

Yesterday Dr Hill put braces (牙箍) on my teeth. When she finished doing it, she walked me out to the front desk. She told Grandma I would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked. “Sounds like she put a washing machine in your mouth, doesn't it, Amy?” joked Grandma. Then Dr Hill gave me an appointment (預(yù)約) for 2:30 pm on 28th October. Oh, well, I guess getting out of school early to see Dr Hill will be one good thing about having braces.

Other things aren't so good. When I woke up this morning, my mouth really hurt. I couldn't eat any bread or meat. Finally Mum mashed (搗爛) a banana and mixed it with some milk and honey, which tasted good.

At school, my friends tried to be nice about my braces. Benny said he could hardly notice them unless I smiled. (Note to myself: Try not to smile too much.) Angel said they made me look more grown-up. And Keith thanked me for joining him. He said my braces looked nicer than his.

Of course, Charlie had mean things to say. First he called me Brace Face, and then he called me Metal Mouth. I ignored (不理睬) him, but he kept laughing and pointing. He didn't stop until Mrs Fremont gave him one of her looks. Right now, Dr Hill's not sure how long I'll have to wear the braces. But it may be at least nine months. That seems like a long, long time.
