I live fairly close to where I work. On Friday I helped out at the community bonfire night, serving hot-dogs. Cue gaggles of teenage girls wearing braces giving me shy "hello"s as they recognised their orthodontist in an unexpected place!
Half way through the evening a group of four returned, three holding toffee apples. The fourth indicated her brace, which had just broken, asking me what to do about it. "Were you eating a toffee apple G?" I asked. She answered "no", but I knew otherwise, the red sugar round her mouth rather giving her away!
She felt suitably sheepish I think. No big problem, I can repair it, but she has now learned why the advice to avoid hard food is given to brace wearers.
