So AJ had her braces adjusted today. Well, for the first time, she's also feeling the wire poke at the back of her cheeks a bit. The orthodontist office gave us two care kits that included wax for just such an occasion when the braces were first put on. Needless to say, AJ can't find the kits or the wax.
I'm giving the dog an emergency bath (don't know what she got into but it reeked!), I come out of the bathroom hoping my child is ready for bed. Instead she looks me in the eye and says -
"You know mom, I couldn't find the wax stuff. So I was thinking about what I could put on there. And I was thinking - you know how tampons are cotton and stuff? So I cut one in half and put it up there... It was bleechh!"
OMG - you have no idea how hard it was to keep a straight face and praise her for trying to find a solution to her problem.
ROTFL!

I doubt you'll read this in time but a pencil eraser helped me once, although it was a tad awkward. After a day or so, I got brave enough to just bend the wire around my gum's. I figured the ortho could fix it later, but he never even noticed my fix.
