Ashley versus The Orthodontist

Last month I took Ashley to an orthodontist appointment. I dropped her off while mom, me, Hannah, and Emma quickly ran to Smiths to get a couple of things. While there I got a call from her saying that they wanted to talk to me. She told me to come in alone.

I assumed this had something to do with her seriously delinquent orthodontist bill, so Mom decided to come in with me, and I brought her sisters in anyway so they wouldn't be in the car alone -- but I threatened them to behave and not embarrass Ashley.

Apparently Ashley had been telling them how much she wanted her braces off, and they offered to take them off now if I approved. Her teeth were straight, but the overbite still needed to move a couple more millimeters. They wanted to leave them on a few more months to get it perfect, but it was up to me.

Of course mom immediately pipes up vehemently saying that taking them off now would be a bad idea and that we should leave them on like the orthodontist wanted to.

At this point Ashley turns to me and says "I told you to come in alone!" Here I thought she didn't want her sisters bugging her, instead it was grandma she didn't want because she knew she'd be against it.

How well she knows her grandma!
