Becca Buck Tooth

Kate's gotten all paranoid. She's been losing her baby teeth and seems to think that losing teeth is a lifelong process, not just a one time deal. "So underneath your baby teeth are grown-up teeth, and underneath your grown-up teeth is WHAT?" "How big are the 'big teeth?'" When Jack and Kay came to dinner last night, talk came around to my unfortunate elementary school nick name, and Kay insisted my teeth could not have been as bad as I said they were. I collected my photo album in very short order and we all had a good laugh about the severe awkwardness I was afflicted with from 2nd to, oh, ELEVENTH grade when I finally grew in to those suckers. Well, our good laugh seriously alarmed Kate. She now thinks that one constantly loses teeth only to have them replaced by ones larger, so your teeth just get progressively bigger and bigger. My school picture, in her mind, was the perfect argument for HER case:

Don't worry, Kate. The chances of you looking like this in 2 years are a mere 50/50.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but have you seen childhood pictures of Bruce's teeth?

Buck teeth are a smile price to pay when a smile turns out as lovely as yours.

Awww, you were cute anyway. Plus you were brilliant and played the piano, so it was OK about the teeth. TGFB (Thank God for braces!)
