The Bourne Ultimatum

Wealth, in monetary terms has never been a defining feature of our family. With 6 children, that's pretty much a given, with 6 children who need braces, it's a certainty. Alex, (child #5) got his braces on about 2 1/2 years ago. Our dentist has a neat program - buy 4, get 1 free. He has seldom had to actually pony up for it, but in our case, he did.


A few weeks ago when we were asking our kids what they would like for Christmas, Alex said he'd like to get his braces off. Not gonna happen. Not for Christmas. He went in for an adjustment today, and was informed that the braces come off in about 3 weeks. Wahoo!

Did I mention that our orthodontist's name is Jason Bourne?

Coincidence...I don't think so.

You should get something more awesome than just some more braces. Wonder if you could renegotiate for a yacht?
