Corwin and Charles had a dentist appointment this week and for Corwin it was bad news — he is going to need braces as well. Mom took him to the orthodonist the next day and we’re now on the hook for Corwin fix up as well as Charles. Corwin doesn’t seem too thrilled about it but this at least is one situation in which his general ennui is a feature, not a bug. He whines a lot more about having to practice the violin than he has about getting braces.
