Dental problems

My mother, Patty, and Kai are coming to visit tomorrow. Kai will spend Friday at school with me. He's fourteen and in the eighth grade. I have eighth and ninth graders together in the same ESL class, so I told them about Kai and asked them to show him around on Friday.

"What does he look like?" the girls asked, naturally enough. "Oh, here's a picture," I said, and handed them the photo at left.

These kids can be pretty wild, but they looked at the picture and passed it around in shocked silence. It wasn't until I heard a whisper "what's wrong with his teeth?" that I started laughing.

I had to do a double-take on the picture myself.

Say hello to your mother for me. Have a great visit.
