Having only worn braces for about 2 years (in the 1960s when they were very costly and uncomfortable) I do notice people's teeth. But i don't dwell on it.

A dear friend in Japan is very attractive, but when I first saw him smile the term "snagglepuss" came to mind instantly. But it wasn't long before I hardly noticed his crooked teeth - its just part of him and now his smile seems kinda cute and unique to me.

Unfortunately, he is now in the U.S. doing job interviews and it may hurt his chances when he gets face to face with someone. Hopefully they will look past this, but we all know how decisions can hinge on irrelevant factors.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
