Wednesdays

I know that today isn't a Wednesday, but this was a while ago. A long, long, while ago. I was getting my braces tightened, which is not the most entertaining activity in the world. Even if your dental hygienist is talking about math and how irritating she found geometry, cleansing your bones isn't exactly a fun-park ride. That is something I would like to see.

After losing to a machine while playing 20 Questions (very embarrassing), I decided to analyze my dear companions. To my left was a tall blond side-parted girl reading Seventeen and looking at pictures of Taylor Laughtner and wearing a pink shirt, minishorts (the horror), and glitter gladiator sandals who also had perfectly straight white teeth. To my right was an Asian girl wearing a blouse, tie, a plaid skirt, and loafers with a hovering mother, who would periodically exclaim about how her daughter was going to become a doctor/lawyer/president/Olympic swimmer and how important white teeth would be.

I felt so good about myself. :-o

The answer was duck-billed platypus.
