Bracing For Childbirth

(My husband and I are attending the wedding of one of his coworkers. This coworker is in his late 40s. He and I had braces at the same time, although I had them for a much longer time. I finally had to ask my orthodontist to just take them off, because I was a couple weeks away from having a baby, and didn’t want to deal with them and a newborn.)

Coworker: “[Wife], come look! She got her braces off!”

Coworker’s Wife: “Hey, your teeth look so good!”

Coworker: “Yeah, she had the braces on for so long! And the baby came out with braces, too!”
