EDIT!! I totally posted this yesterday but it didn't go through!! Thanks for letting me know, Malcolm! I wrote this yesterday so it still counts right? RIGHT?! Ahhhhh!!! Well, enjoy two posts in one day, but this should have been yesterday's!!
I have always prided myself on my teeth. They're not yellow, they're not crooked, and they've never had cavities! Until now. Dun dun duuuuuun! Seriously though, it's true. I have some pretty decent teeth and especially compared to my brother and sister, I have been proud to not have a cavity. Well, my day has arrived. I'm getting a filling today. It shouldn't be bad, but I feel like I've lost something...
Isn't that weird? When the dentist said I'd need a filling, I felt defeated. Like I'd lost the competition finally. You know, the one versus my brother and sister that never really existed? That one. And it got me thinking that sibling rivalries never end. There's always a little spark in your mind to compete and to win against the ones you know the best. It still happens every time I see them. My sister and I work out sometimes on her Wii Fit. My brother and I compete for the remote or for attention. It's crazy. I think the thing that has changed about it is that now that we're all graduated from high school and moving on, we don't fight about it as much. It's finally a friendly competition in our household, which is hilarious because I can't tell you how many times one of us has broken down in tears about something that is completely irrelevant and won't matter in 15 minutes. Sometimes I still get sensitive about certain things, and both my brother and sister have their flaws, but for the first time, I feel like we're growing together and not in spite of each other. And that's a lovely feeling :)
So yes, today my plans are a filling and....seeing Nancy and/or Sarah! I get to celebrate my best friend's birthday!!!
