Do you need an excuse for school?

I had an appointment today at the orthodontist, my teeth are looking great! I was thinking the wire they were putting on today was the last wire that would be stretching them. It's not, one more after this one. I'm so excited, it can't wait until the gaps close. As you can see in the first picture here there are some big gaps, at least in my opinion. The best part of the day was when I went to book my next appointment and got a new receptionist, she asked me "do you need a excuse for school?" I was thinking yes, that means I look young, right? Twelve weeks until my next appointment.
