Just call me Snaggletooth Tiger

As I was laying in bed unable to sleep, I caught myself thinking about braces.  For the most part, my teeth are pretty straight and even though I have put them through hell and back, they are all still in my face and in relatively good condition.

Except for my snaggletooth.

Spell check is telling me that snaggletooth isn't spelled correctly but maybe when it's one word instead of two, it's more offensive?  I don't know.  Anyways, you're probably thinking "But Rachele, I have never noticed your snaggletooth?"  Right.  Well, neither do I until I do a lot of smiling, even though I know it's there.

Maybe it isn't even a real snaggletooth but calling it that makes me laugh so I will proceed.

You know what it looks like when a dog get's their lip flipped up and doesn't notice?  They just sit there, smiling and oblivious.  Then you start laughing hysterically because they don't have a care in the world.   Not saying it's happened to me but....okay, it's happened.  When I smile a lot, my teeth get dry and then my lip gets caught on my tooth.  It's embarrassing but it's funny too.  I normally catch it before (I think) anyone notices but then it sends me into a fit of giggles and it inevitably happens again. It isn't even uncomfortable.  I, like a dog, very rarely notice.   I look so ridiculous but I think that I wouldn't get braces because then I would miss telling people about what happens when I smile a lot (which is almost all of the time).

I'm one of those "Embrace Your Flaws" kinda gal.  I have a lot of them but they make me my own special person and I'm pretty okay with that.  Hell, it makes me like myself even more because I know it makes me different and I love to be different.

What's your favorite flaw?

  1. My orangutang arms. I can pretty much scratch my kneecap without bending over at the waist. I can't decide whether it's long arms or short torso, but I'm guessing it's the former.

  2. That would prove incredibly useful for reaching things. My snaggletooth just gets my lip caught. :)
