The tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth
My youngest daughter has just learnt that she will need braces and rubber bands to fix her imperceptibly crooked teeth and misaligned jaw. I have just learnt how much this will cost. Fortunately, I was sitting down at the time!
So this little gem landing in my inbox seems both apt and wantonly cruel, in equal measure:

They've set the bar ridiculously low if they consider paying for my daughter's wonky toothy pegs to be one of my great achievements in the field of Dentistry
. Although she mentions my achievements, plural. I wonder what the others are. Does flossing count? (confused)
