replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people 3 me and saw only happy teeth.
Later that day at home, I began to 4 my teeth again. I felt upset. I thought my life would be somehow better if my teeth were not happy. How I wanted the perfect teeth that everyone else seemed to have!
Of course, Mom 5 everything. She has lived her entire life with happy teeth, and tried to convince me
that there was nothing to 6 . When I refused to listen, she told me I could get the surgery to close the gap
if it was that important. "Let"s be 7 , though," she said. "If everyone got surgeries to become pretty,
everyone would be exactly the same. There is beauty in differences."
Her 8 made me consider my teeth seriously. the thought of losing my gap was more terrible than the
reality that people were going to notice it. I realized how important it was to me. It is part of my 9 .
Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of "perfection." The 10 is that no
