Is there an alternative to putting braces?

i have buck teeth but other than that, the other teeth are quite straight and nice.

Is there an alternative to putting braces?
Ask your orthodontist about using Invisalign, invisible braces. You should be a candidate for them since your case is minor.
Reply:if you are happy with you teeth just leave them I got braces cos my teeth were all over the show and im so glad I did! If your worried bout ppl teasing you dont be they soon get over it, I even forgot I had them after a while!

Am I the only one who thinks Eva Longoria is a horseface?

Are those big teeth or buck teeth?

Am I the only one who thinks Eva Longoria is a horseface?
Well i guess you're right, you're the only one who thinks so. She's not a beauty queen (in fact, she was) but she's not ugly.





And who wouldn't like a kiss from those lips? Or a bite?
Reply:Thank you, I saw her on aol feature today, and her face irks me. i don't get the hoopla over her, she ihas a horse face for sure. It is my job to scout beauty for shoe biz, and she aint got it! Some one got paid off, know what I mean, must have been the casting couch, no talent either. Report It

How can I help my friend?
tell her that he doesn deserve her and that she sould leave him in the dust
Reply:tell a counselor,tell her parents immediately because she could cut a major vein and accidentelly kill herself
Reply:SHE NEEDS COUNSELING, THERAPY SESSIONS OR EVEN A PSYCHIATRIST.
Reply:First focus on organizing your life. Try organizing some method of uplifting your morale and self respect so that everyone will respect you. Make her see you high above every body but don't stop talking to her. you have a little more than 72 hours to do this. if you try to prove to her that he is a geek then let it happen automatically and the important thing is not to show that you were involved in it.

Im debating wether to get braces because i have an overbite?

I found out last year that i have an overbite, its back but definitly not as bad as buck teeth.


when i bite down you cant see my bottom teeth.


i really really really really DONT want to get braces. Personally i dont think i need them because i look fine as I am now and my friends say the same thing, but my parents say i have to get them. are there any other non braces options?

Im debating wether to get braces because i have an overbite?
Why don't You get the CLEAR braces?? besides seriously braces are not thaaaaat bad..you get to pick cool colors! lol and they are TOTALLY worth it at the end..there is nothing worse than baaddddd teeth(in my opinon anyways).lol. =D =D
Reply:If you don't get braces you will wind up with problems with your mouth later on in life so yes you need the braces. Have your parents set up a consult with an orthodontist and he can explain it all to you .
Reply:Braces hold your pants up silly. Oh you must mean you want braces so you can hold your pants up over your teeth.
Reply:OMG that's an overbite???... about that...
Reply:Better to get them now rather than later when you are older...





Having that isn't a problem now but could lead to problems or discomfort later.





Grin and bare it.





Things could always be worse...=)





And besides...There is nothing wrong with improving a smile....
Reply:if your teeth arnt that bad then you can get those clear removable braces that you can actually take out. I had braces for a year and they are not that bad. Also getting braces can get rid of that overbite. You know the head gears that they tell you to wear at night? Thats what those are for. Get them I promise you wont regret it I am glad that I did my teeth are beautiful now :)
Reply:see an orthodontist and they could tell you how to go about this, you probably just need bands or a retainer which is much better then braces. there is also something called night wear. overbites arent that serious if its not intefering with the way you eat and you're happy with the way you look, thats really all that matters. good luck %26lt;3

Metal braces, and colored braces!!!! PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!!!!!!!!?

My sister Trisha is 11 years old. She is going to the orthodontics soon, because of the spaces in her teeth and also because she has buck teeth as well. She keeps on asking me if because her dentits says she is going to get (train tracks) metal braces, if she cannot get coloured braces. I heared she will still get metal braces, and will also still get coloured ones over them.Or something like that


(But the truth is that I don't have a clue.)


SO COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM ABOUT GETTING METAL AND COLOURED BRACES?


(before my sister turns me mad)


OH, and can you still get braces if you still have baby molars left?

Metal braces, and colored braces!!!! PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!!!!!!!!?
THey are metal. The "colour" is the rubber bands that orthodontists put over the bamds.





TEll her that the worst part is the taste of the glue. :) Seriously! The pain is like nothing compared to the taste! Sprite will immediately KILL the taste.





I don't think you can get braces w/ baby teeth in.


Also, there is no such thing as coloured braces.
Reply:They are metal, but the dentist like opens them up and puts colours in. So it's metal edges but you can see the colours, and no usually if you have baby molars they take them out before the braces go in.
Reply:There are lots of options these days, but you may pay more for less noticeable braces. I think what you are talking about is where they glue the metal brackets to your teeth but then they can put little colored elastic rings on each bracket to hold the wire in place. I'm not an orthodontist and I don't know the technical terms for all of the parts, but I had braces 14 years ago. I used to pick different colored pieces, and I would sometimes have 2 colors alternating. Tell your sister goos luck, and it will all be worth it when she's done.
Reply:Okay, here you go, the braces are not actually colored. The color is rubber bands. You are allowed to change you rubber bands whenever you want to. You can get any combination of colors. I know a lot of people who color them seasonally. Metal braces are the same. You see, you put the rubber bands, and rap them around the metal braces. There is no colored braces thing. Yes you can still get braces if you have baby molars left.
Reply:The actual braces (wires, brackets etc) are NOT coloured. The only coloured part of the braces are the little coloured rings that go around the brackets. So you're sister is probably going to get normal braces and then she'll be able to chose colours to hold the brackets on the braces closed.





There is however a type of braces that don't require colours called 'speed braces' so maybe you're sister is getting these? If she does she can just ask for colours if she wants them. I have speed braces and I just ask to have colours put on (to make them look nice) even though they aren't necessary =]
Reply:They don't actually put the braces on the baby teeth. You don't have baby molars, your molars are permanent. The ortho is probably putting the braces on the girl so help control how straight her permanent teeth come in. It's easier to move them when they come in.





Tell her it's easier to get the color bands put around her braces to hold the wire on instead of that metal "thread" stuff they use. Also, don't get the color black or clear rubber bands..they get dirty easy and black makes ur teeth look weird.
Reply:Theyre all silver, metal, the color comes from the bands you can get around them.

Braces??!!?

I have really bad buck teeth and people call me crucked teeth at school, and I need to do something! The dentist is going to referal me to the orthidontist this month so do you think I should get braces? How bad do they hurt? PLEASE help me!

Braces??!!?
When you first get them on it's uncomfortable for the first day or two %26amp; then every monthwhen they tighten them its a little uncomfortable but they are well worth it. I had braces for two years and my teeth are very straight %26amp; it helped my overbite.


I would suggest very much that you get them.
Reply:they hurt for up to 10 days while they move your teeth, if you feel that you want to get braces get them if not dont get them unless its essential
Reply:It is your decision....but I would suggest that you get them. I am getting my braces on next week, and my teeth are not very crooked at all, but I know that the braces will be worth it!

My temporary crowns are uncomfortable! Are the permanent ones going to feel anything like this?

I know they are temporary for a reason, but wow. i cant beleive i have to deal with these for 3 weeks! My lips are so chapped and cut up, the front two look like buck teeth, and i cant even eat anything! They feel like they're going to fall out. Is this normal? I got all 8 front teeth done. Yeah....it hurt. The worst thing is my husband comes home in a week from Iraq and i havent seen him in 7 months. I am afraid i wont even be able to give him a kiss without feeling like theyre going to fall out! Ahhhhhhh. Does anyone know how the permanent ones feel %26amp; look ?

My temporary crowns are uncomfortable! Are the permanent ones going to feel anything like this?
how the crowns fit and look all depend on how well they're made. The crowns are custom made to fit your teeth. Let your dentist know about any discomfort and your concerns about a proper fit. I had a crown that gave me nothing but problems and pain. I had it redone by a different dentist and it feels perfect now.
Reply:Don't worry, your permanent crowns are nothing like the temps. The temps that you are wearing now are made from an acrylic and they tend to get rough on the teeth. Maybe you should go back to your dentist and tell them to polish them a bit more. Also, they are just in there with a temporary cement, and that stuff doesn't hold that well. Sometimes you can get that at a drug store, so you can have some at home if they do fall out. Make sure to let them know if they feel too big they might be able to contour them a little better. When it comes time to put in the permanent ones make sure that you address all of your concerns before they cement them in because after that, theres nothing that they can do.





Good Luck!
Reply:Temporary crowns never fit perfectly. All eight front teeth?


Wow. I'm sure you do have some swelling and pain. You should be feeling a lot better by the time your husband gets home. But, all won't be perfect.





The permanent crowns will fit. It will still take a few days to get used to them. Everything will settle down and you'll feel fine and look great. You'll think your new look was worth all the discomfort.

Milk bottle and sleeping: exactly what are the consequences?

a lot of people say it's bad for teeth when sleeping with a bottle.. how so? will the baby get buck teeth, cavities, etc? when can you tell if the damage has been done?

Milk bottle and sleeping: exactly what are the consequences?
i have heard that it will rot their teeth, i don't know. my son went to sleep with milk every night until he was 2, then we took it away. he doesn't have anything wrong with his teeth. no cavities, etc. we keep his teeth brushed very regularly. but taking it away is very hard. i am pregnant with my 2nd child, and i will not even start that habit, because of the hardness of breaking it, not because of their teeth. but its different for different kids i guess.
Reply:the baby can get bottle rot....because the sugars in the milk or juice sit in the baby's mouth after they fall asleep. the sugars break down the enamel of the teeth
Reply:it can cause ear infections and bottle mouth which is rotted teeth I think it also makes it harder to take the bottle away when that time comes
Reply:|Definately rottening of the teeth, bad breath, production of bacteria, and abnormal growth of a healthy denture line. You will know when you are paying for braces or porcelain veneers.....don't do it!!!!
Reply:Yes, the baby can get BBTD (Baby Bottle Tooth Decay) also called bottle rot. The sugars in milk (and juice and ANYTHING that is not plain water) pool around the teeth while the child is sleeping and then bacteria in the mouth will attack the sugars (it is their food). One of their byproducts is acid which eats away at the teeth, forming cavities. You'll notice when the damage is done, the teeth will be very discolored, teeth may be worn down, and the child may experience pain. It won't cause buck teeth but the teeth will decay. Here is some more information: http://www.dr-v.org/facts/BBTD.htm
Reply:def makes it harder to take the bottle away, don't do it i made that mistake. just got the bottle away from her, (santa took them) lol. learn from my mistake. and yes she has 2 cavities
Reply:All those answers are right... just like if you went to bed without brushing your teeth. you wouldnt clean your mouth and then have a drink...
Reply:My son is 16 months old and I thought he was to old for the bottle. We went to his well baby check up and I was concerned that he was going to get bottle rot or anything else like that. BUT the doctor says dont push the bottle away because crying it out is not healthy for your child. The bottle is like a security blanket for my son. Just dont fill it up to the top. My son takes water most of the time, but still wants milk every once and a while. Also, dont let your child drink more then 16 oz. of milk a day, then your child will have more problems eating a regular meal because his stomach is full on the fat from the milk.


Hope this helps!
Reply:my oldest was 19months old b4 she stopped taking the bottle at night and she had to get her two front teeth pulled at 4. if your baby will take water in a bottle, do it that way. i don't wish it on my worst enemy to have his babies teeth pulled. my daughters two front teeth were completely rotted out of her mouth. if you see blackening of teeth i would get them pulled now b4 you baby gets worse. if you wait they won't get there adult teeth.

Braces! Help!!?

I know sumone with 1 tooth (one of the buck teeth) higher than the rest on the top row. when they get braces, will it hurt??? please answer only if u kno sum1 like that with braces or experienced it b4

Braces! Help!!?
All braces hurt when they are first put on the teeth... But it isn't as bad as what people are probably making it out to be.... It's nothing worse than what panadol or another 'off the shelf' painkiller can relieve.





I know heaps of people (other than myself who had braces for over 2 years) who have had really crooked teeth - or a tooth that grows from a different point (like your friend) - and none of them found it that bad...





And to be honest - i missed my braces for weeks when they got taken off... It was like they had become a part of who I am. I (and I know many of other people) became much more self-confident because of braces.
Reply:depends, but it hurt me hella, i couldnt eat for the first couple days
Reply:braces will hurt for everyone at first but it depends,


your teeth will ache for like 5-7 days and then after that you won't


even realise they're there.


So i think it will take a while for the person's teeth will hurt like everyone else.
Reply:YES IT WILL
Reply:braces dont hurt unless you cut your mouth with the metal
Reply:No, it won't hurt, but it will be sore for awhile and the dentist will prescribe a medicine for that
Reply:I had braces and eating was painful for the first few days. After that it hurt almost every time I got them adjusted, which was once a month, but only for like a day.
Reply:No it will not hurt getting braces...You may feel a little pressure but no pain...If it aches a little take what ever you normally take for a headache...It will so be worth it...You will see after the braces come off!!!!
Reply:It took a long time with me to get them on, but that didn't really hurt. You won't notice the squeezing of your teeth but after an hour or so your mouth will get sore. By the end of the day it won't hurt if you take pain medications, but it was hard for me to chew for a while. After a few days, the pain went away.





Damn, that was too long ago. D:
Reply:yes it hurts but like I have told lots of people its not as bad a natural childbirth. Anyway tylanol or motrin or advil seems to take care of most of my pain and now that I am in retainers I miss them. My 8yr old is getting a them next month because if permanent teeth came in behind his baby teeth and we had to have the baby teeth pulled. If a little guy like him can handle it so can your friend
Reply:yes it will probobly. it did for me but after a few days it went away.
Reply:i had braces and it didnt hurt me cuz i hade them on my 4 front teeth so it wont trust me

Prejudice?

Well, I have buck teeth and I think whoever I meet judge me on this. I know I'll get a lot of answers saying get braces, but I've tried that and I don't like it because my teeth are that bad that I can't get the normal braces, I have to wear some stupid retainer thing first which I don't like. Anyway, about the prejudice part. People treat me like I'm stupid and illiterate and I don't like that because I'm completely the opposite. I also don't like to talk to people because of this and tend to keep my gob shut.





I need some advice because this is really bringing me down.

Prejudice?
i basically have no hair and im a gurl. it hurts when ppl call me a guy but then you get up again. never stay down!!!! i know, its not fun. you just tell them that its part of u and if they dont like it, thats their problem. who do they think they are??lol get some attitude in the building!!

Reply:Unfortunately that is how alot people are. I know sometimes its hard just to say, people should like me for me and not my looks. But if it is really bothering you that bad, just bite the bullet and get the retainer. Good Luck.
Reply:ignore them! you are probably very beautiful and smart! you don't need them. find someone who likes you for you! they are jerks, tell them to leave you the hell alone. after all you know what they say, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"


most people aren't prejudice around you, just nervous. they don't want to say anything rude.

Would you get braces at 26 years old if you were single?
Why not, older people are getting braces more often now.
Reply:Why don't you look into Invisalign? I think you should definitely do something now rather than later, especially since it sounds like it's bothering you, not to mention you say its getting worse. Good luck
Reply:If you can afford it I don't see why not. Invisalign is a great product that moves your teeth straighter without any visible brackets or wires. If you have just a slight overbite your dentist or orthodontist should be able to recommend the best course of action.





Good luck!
Reply:If it's something that you can afford at the moment and you feel it will better your relationship status and confidence, then go for it. Just know that the effects from braces are not always permanant and your teeth and jaw bone may not accept the work done to them. So be prepared for many dentist and orthodontist visits and pain.





Invisiline may not work for you if you need a substantial amount of movement. As far as I know Invisiline is just for the minor issues, like slightly crooked teeth. But I could be wrong.
Reply:Are there no other options such as Invisilign for you?





If you have no other options, I would do it and get it over with before it got worse, and it probably will since you mentioned that it has over time. Braces aren't the sexiest thing in the world, but if you're looking for a serious relationship, would you really want to be with someone who didn't want to date you based soley on the fact that you have braces? It might actually help you find Mr. Right if you think about it that way. If he doesn't mind the braces ... he's a keeper!





I would recommend the clear ones. They're still noticeable, but much less than the metal ones.





But I would seriously look into other options, and leave braces as your last resort. I can tell you from experience that they're uncomfortable and bothersome ... and I came imagine they would be worse if you're in your 20s (I had them in High School).





You'll make the right decision. You know yourself best.
Reply:There are braces out now that aren't all steel, can you get those? If so, most definetly. It is so much better to get it done now and get it over with and have good teeth. If your teet are moving they are only going to get worse and you are going to have a problem and sooner or later you are going to have to have the braces, so you might as well do it now. It's not all that unusual now.
Reply:I have seen both men and women who are even older than 26, who have braces on their teeth. I don't know all of their "stories", but I do know that in some cases, the braces were not merely there for cosmetic reasons (they had received an injury to their jaw, for example).





If you're concerned about your appearance with braces, have you looked into the "clear" type of braces? I don't know any brand names, but I know that a few exist. That may or may not be an option in your case, but it's worth investigating.
Reply:why not?


If you are self concious about getting the braces, why don't you try the invisalign braces. They work. My step mom used them and she is older than 26 (lol!)

Reply:i am 30 and I have braces. there are at least four older adults that i work with that have them too. i think if you are self-conscious about your smile, you should do something to fix it. two years isn't that long. it is worth every bit of it, i think. i feel better already, knowing that people are looking at my teeth because they are straight, not cuz they are jacked up.:)
Reply:Sure, why not- these days many adults get them it's not just a teenager things. You can get them white so it shows less or the Invisalign if you feel self counscious about having mouth full of metal.
Reply:I was 34 when I decided to straighten my teeth, I got INVISALIGN. They where easy and worked so good.


Ask your dentist if it works for you.


If no, go ahead and get the braces. I believe it's never late to take care of yourself.

Reply:Yes I would. You can get invalign you know.

I have a loose tooth, it's out, but it's connected to a red wiggly thing and won't come out?!?

will it come out on it's own?





it's the tooth on my left next to my front buck tooth, it doesn't hurt at all, only when i try to pull it.

I have a loose tooth, it's out, but it's connected to a red wiggly thing and won't come out?!?
If this were the nerve or pulp to this lateral tooth and it was the only thing holding the tooth in place, which isn't possible, you would be in incredible pain all the time, not just when you touch the tooth.





I don't know what condition your teeth are in, or how old you are but I am guessing young. I can presume this is a baby tooth with some tissue attachment from what you've described. It also needs to come out.





Take some ice and hold it on the tissue around the tooth to numb the tissue for a few minutes, then with a thin towel, grab the tooth and pull it downward with one quick yank.





You won't bleed to death and it will feel much better once removed.





Please don't listen to these people, it's only a tissue tag holding the tooth, just ice to numb and pull straight down. It can be over in a few seconds, or if you baby it, this could take hours.





I wish that the people who "don't know" what the answer is, would not give "any advice" or their idea of what is obviously an incorrect answer. Some of these answers are absolutely ridiculous, so please don't take them seriously.





Additional information: It doesn't hurt when you inhale because it's not the nerve that is still attached, it's a tissue tag. You should ask your parents to look at this and take you to your dentist if necessary.
Reply:its just some of your gum


i used to pull the tooth out like that all the time


it only hurts for like a minute
Reply:omg go to ur dentist asap taht red thing is blood vessel, if u pull it u'll keep bleeding and u might pull it the wrong way too, just go to ur dentist!
Reply:that is the nerve still attached it may fall out but you should goo to the dentest. Expecilly if when you inhale if it hurts that means the nerve is exposed.
Reply:OMG!!!!!!! Seek immediate medical attention.. don't pull anymore I swear you will bleed to death~!
Reply:It's the nerve and sometimes when these things are pulled out they do bleed alot. The dentist has to remove it and clean out the nerve cavity so you don't get an infection. They scrape out what's called nerve pulp.





STOP GIVING ME THE F...ING THUMBS DOWN, i JUST HAD IT DONE, WOULD YOU LIKE THE NUMBER OF MY DENTIST. F-ING IDIOTS.Heather S wrote the same thing after i did, how come she doesn't get a thumbs down, idiotic website.Here read about it:http://www.doctorspiller.com/tooth_anato...
Reply:yeah i had the same thing when i had my first loose tooth. my cousin is a dentist, so we just went to her house one night, she rubbed a little novacaine on it (not a shot), and then just twisted it out. idk what it would feel like if you didnt have the novacaine, but it's up to you what you wanna do.

How do I have a better smile?

I have buck teeth. thay are very unsightly. I want to smile more often,but I have a fear that people get turned off wheni smile because of my horrible teeth. My parents won't be able to afford braces until i'm in 10th grade (I'm in 8th now) How do i have a smile that conceals my teeth a little better without loking like a chump?

How do I have a better smile?
Your teeth don't look bad at all. Just take care of them by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. And smile more often :D
Reply:Just take good care of them until then. Brush 2 to 3 times a day. Floss as well.
Reply:it you odnt want to have buck teeth go to your dentist and ask him if they can shave it down for you
Reply:There is not much of anything you can do until you are able to get braces. For the time being tell yourself how beautiful you are and try not to focus on your teeth or physical features but always smile : )

Story I wrote! Any opinions??? Help!!?

You see, I wrote this story and I need your commentary on it. It's called "Quit Bugging Me." Hope you like it!





I was walking to my room, when I thought I spotted something shiny in my sister, Bambi's room. I walked in, climbed on the chair (it took me a while, cuz that stupid, green, frilly chair's too tall to reach.)


Anyways, I saw this big bottle with curly letters and a picture of a girl's hair on the front. And since I'm very, very smart for my age, I was able to read exactly what it said; It said, "Hair Care Hair Spray". It was some kind of dumb hair product. But then, my eyes caught the lower part of the bottle. Right there, in big letters, it says "MIGHTY HOLD." I smiled to myself. Imagine the possibilities with this! I pictured spraying my family with that stuff and they would turn so stiff, they would fall over like boards! Ha! Imagine what a beautiful hoot that would be!


I reached over to grab the hair spray, until Bambi sped in the room and snatched it off the dresser before I could. I turned to look at her and she stood there spraying her long, brown hair with that snobby look on her face.


I thought about what to do. I knew Bambi wasn't going to hand off that spray to me easily; so I decided to ask nicely.


"Bambi?" I asked politely. "May I please use your 'Hair Care Hair Spray MIGHTY HOLD?"


"No." Bambi said greedily.


"Please?" I still intended to ask nicely. "Please with a cherry on top?-"


"No!" Bambi yelled at me.


My polite grin turned into gritting teeth. I was mad. How dare she tell me no?! I asked her politely and she refused!


"Besides, " that Bambi dared to continue. "This spray's only for mature people."


Mom called from the living room, "Bambi! Seaweed Sockpuppet is on!"


"Oh my gosh, I gotta watch it!" Bambi squealed. She was so excited, she dropped the spray and darted out of the room.


Yeah...pretty mature for a twelve-year-old to still like watching Seaweed the Sockpuppet. After she left, I picked up the spray, thought for a while, then smiled cleverly at the bottle. It was time for payback.


Yesterday, my grandma, Darla from my daddy's side had sent me a Science Kit, where you could create your own potions and make your own experiments.


I quickly ran out of the room and into the dining room. My family was sitting in the living room watching Seaweed Sockpuppet. Bambi's eyes were glued to the TV, so she didn't see me slip outside the backdoor with the hair spray.


I ran behind the big tree we have in the yard and found my science kit. I leaned against the tree and looked at the back of the box and it said; "Just Add Water".


Just add water? With what?


Then, a butterfly landed on my nose, then flew away next to the tree. I turned around and also found a ladybug and a caterpillar crawling on the trunk.


This gave me an idea. What if I made some sort of bug juice, poured it into the bottle and turned Bambi into a bug! That would be classic! And perfect payback.


I looked around to make sure anyone was looking. I'm not allowed to use my powers alone anymore.


I focused on the bugs and snapped my fingers. The three bugs trembled a little, then a ray of bright light surrounded them. They turned into liquid and I quickly opened the bottle to collect the juice. I closed it.


"Now to test it." I said to myself. I looked around the yard and spotted Rufus taking a nap next to the screen door.


I smiled and called, "Oh, Rufus!"


The mangy and furry mutt turned his lazy head toward me with annoyance in his eyes for waking him up.


I gestured my finger for him to come.


He sat up, yawned and stretched himself from both sides, dramatically. After he finished, he slowly walked up to me.


I held the bottle right in front of his nose and said, "Try this."


The picky dog pulled back his neck, sniffed it, then stuck out his tongue in disgust. He turned and held his head and tail up high. But before he walked away, I sprayed the stuff at him at the back of the head. He immediatly turned to look at me and shook the liquid off him. Little did he know, after he completely dried himself off, he was a giant caterpillar!


My eyes grew in shock as I drew back with a big smile on my face. "Tight!" I thought. I was surprised and amazed at the same time!


That mindless dog wasn't even aware that he had changed form. Rufus glared at me, rolled his eyes and walked away to his water bowl. He peered in and saw a strange shape in the water of his reflection. He stared confusingly at the water, then slowly lifted his head to see his clear reflection in the backdoor.


He cried out of fear and immediatly dashed behind me, afraid of his own reflection.


"Wow" I said, still in awe looking at the bottle. "It works!"


Rufus was still whimpering cowardly behind me, even too afraid to put his legs over his eyes, which were once his paws.


"I calmed myself from laughing and sighed happily, looking at the bottle. Imagine how funny this would be with Bambi! Especially since she has no reflection, how is she going to know!


I collected my science kit and the juice and heading inside. But since I had so many things in my hands and nobody bothered to help me, I had to manage opening that dumb door myself.


With the juice still in my hand, I pushed the glass sliding door open to let myself in. My science kit box was in my other hand, threatening to fall. It wobbled, then finally fell to the ground.


"Oops." I muttered as I placed the bug juice bottle on the kitchen counter next to me and bent down to pick up the box. Little did I know, I had done a big mistake.


My mommy was stirring soup, and gossiping on the phone about Daddy to my Aunt Terry. But I didn't realize, until I turned around to collect the bottle, that Mommy had taken it off the counter and was now pouring it into the soup!


I held my hands to my mouth and gasped with wide eyes. If my mommy found out about this, I was going to be in so much trouble. And to make matters worse, Mommy dipped a big spoon in the pot and sipped some of the soup! And she turned into a giant, fiery red ant! And she didn't know it!


Now, I was really in shock as my eyes grew wider. Now, I would really get it. Well, it was too late to hide that. I wasn't going to tell my mommy that she was an ant. The only solution I could do, was to definately get that bottle, hide and hope that Mommy maybe, by chance, will not discover it's actually me this time.


I sneaked over next to my mommy to get the bottle which was sitting next to the stove, but before I could even get to it, more bad luck came my way (as it always does) and my mommy picked up the bottle and placed it on the highest shelf of the food cabinet.


After following all this, I stared up hopelessly at that bottle way high away from my reach. Perfect. Knowing the fact that I could barely reach the short chair that Bambi had in her room, there was no way I was going to get to that bottle-


"Scuse me, sweetie," my mommy crossed me, to get to the other side of the kitchen.


Unless...I climb. I looked up at the tall cabinet and found that it was my only choice. Before I started, I looked back at my mommy to see if she was paying attention. Hopefully she wasn't; she had her back towards me and she was cutting vegetables and still gossiping on the phone.


After checking, I begin to quickly and quietly climb the cabinet shelves to get to my destiny. As I was high up, since I was terrified of heights and never looked down, only looked up to the bottle, I didn't turn around, but kept my ears open, making sure that my mommy's footsteps were not heard anywhere around me. I heard her walk a few times, but I only faithfully assumed that she was cutting the vegetables and walking over to the stove to drop the vegetables in while still talking on the phone, since she never said anything to me.


As I got higher, I was finally able to see the bottle in reach! I stretched my arm over to grab it, but realized that my arm was shorter than I thought. After straining so hard, I managed to still try to grab on to it. Finally, I suceeded. I grabbed the bottle and held them with both hands. Unfortunately, bad luck occured after this. It always does for me.


I felt myself feeling unbalanced over the shelf I was standing around. I was so panicked, I kept waving my arms around instead of grabbing on to the shelf in front of me. But before I could even think to do that, I was already falling off the shelf and to the floor and cans crashed down with me.


I knew Mommy had heard me. She turned around and gasped at me.


I could barely say anything to her. I lifted my head from the pile of cans and held my head. "Oh..." is all I muttered, trying to gain conciousness.


"Katherine!" she shouted angrily.


My name said angrily, made me cringe and I immediately grabbed the bug juice from out of the pile of cans and held it close to my chest with a scared look on my face.


"What on earth are you doing?!" Mommy asked. I knew I was going to get it. But then, Mommy stopped shouting at me for a second, and turned to her phone.


"Whadeya mean I am pretty hasty?!" Mommy said with a glare on her face.


Perfect! She was now distracted by Aunt Terry's arguements! Now it was my chance to escape. I stumbled to my feet and ran out the kitchen before Mommy could catch me.


I ran as fast as I could down the hall still with the juice in my hand. I looked back over my shoulder to see if Mommy had seen me, but because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I crashed into someone and fell. The bottle had fallen out of my hand and into the floor.


I sat up from lying down on the ground and looked up to realize it was my daddy who I had crashed into. My daddy stood there, looking down at me, holding his camera in his hands, which was connected to a black strap around his neck.


He glanced over to the bottle on the floor and he gasped in excitement with twinkling eyes. We all knew that when my daddy gasped in excitement with twinkling eyes, it meant trouble.


"Thanks, Sweetie!" my daddy said, snatching the bug juice off the ground.


"Wait, Daddy!" I tried to stop him. But of course, he didn't listen to me. He never listens to anyone.


"I was looking all over for this camera polisher!"


"Daddy, no!" But it was already too late. My daddy had already poured that stuff onto a cloth he fished from his pocket and was now polishing his camera with the bug juice.


"There we are." Daddy said, when he was done polishing and he flinged the cloth off the camera and on my head. Although, he did not notice yet, I stood there staring, as if I had just seen an amazing magic trick, with my mouth open at what he now had in his hands.


It wasn't until he lifted it up to his face and smiled as he said, "Good as new."


That camera, was no longer a camera, but a giant black widow. The spider hissed into my daddy's face, and my daddy screamed out of fright. My daddy flung that thing off him and ran down the hall and into the kitchen screaming as loud as he could. I ran after him to see if he would tell Mommy and if I would get in trouble. I peeked around the corner to see what would happen. My mommy turned from her cooking to see my daddy running towards her. "Dan!" my mommy worriedly tried to communicate through his yelling voice. "What's the matter."


My daddy turned his head to now see that my mommy was an ant. He screamed louder, then he fainted on the floor.


"Dan!" My mommy said, kneeling over to him.


I stared in disbelief. I just had to be dreaming. I cannot believe I still did not get caught for what I did! I turned my back to them with a worried look on my face. Then, I started to smile, and then I started chuckling! I couldn't help but think that all this was just funny and suspenseful at the same time.


"Katherine!" I heard a voice calling me. After hearing this voice, I immediatetly stopped laughing. I glanced over my shoulder to show my mommy that I was paying attention, but did not give her direct eye contact.


"What's so funny?" My mommy raised an eyebrow. This meant she was suspicious.


I hid the bottle behind my back and slightly slided over towards the hallway. "Um..."I stuttered with a nervous smile on my face. "Nothing." I said quickly, then darted down the hall.


That was it. I thought to myself as I ran. No more fooling around. Just pull the prank that you're trying to pull and get it over with. It was not worth moping around and getting yourself in near trouble.


After passing my brother, Tommy's room, I heard my name being called. And I was relieved to find it wasn't the disciplinary call of my name.


"Katherine!" I heard. I stopped running and backed up to look in Tommy's room. That pathetic boy was all trapped and wrapped up in a giant web in which that black widow had created, as prey.


"Help!" Tommy cried like a baby.


I gave him a look of empathy, as though I was going to help him. I held the bottle in front of me and sprayed the juice at him.


Tommy began coughing at the smoke the potion was making. After the smoke cleared off, he looked down at himself and then realized he was still trapped as he was before, but this time, he was a fly.


He glared at me and angrily shouted, "Katherine!"


"Hey," I chuckled. "You said to help." and I took off.


"HELP ME!" I heard Tommy shout back at me. "NOT THE SPIDER!!"


I chuckled again. It was classic.


As I reached Bambi's room, I creeped in to put the bottle, disguised as her hair spray, on her dresser.


"Now where is that darn curler..." I suddenly heard a voice. I gasped and hid the bottle behind my back to see Bambi, with her face in the closet, fumbling all her books to find that iron.


I slowly tippy-toed in front of her dresser and strained, trying to reach over her seat just to place the bug juice at the edge. But of course, knowing how incredibly short my arm was, I couldn't reach. The only way I would be able to set in on top of the dresser is if I was to climb that stupid chair and I simply did not have time for that.


I waved the bottle around, trying to at least stand it up on the dresser.


"Oh, here it is!" Bambi suddenly spoke again. I gasped looking back at her to see if she had seen me yet. I was still struggling to stand the bottle up and had finally done it by pressing my hand over the top. However, I did not realize what I had did until I looked back at the bottle and saw that I had turned my big pigtails into butterfly wings! Because I had pressed down on the trigger trying to stand it up! I gasped louder. I was frightened what to do next. Luckily, I was able to think quick before Bambi turned around and I flew up to the ceiling with my butterfuly wings and pressed my back against it, so she would find me. The lucky thing was, was that because I was able to fly, I had placed the bottle perfectly and quickly how it was before, instead of leaving it suspiciously sitting at the edge.


I stared down from the ceiling at Bambi. I was relieved that I was able to still get this far to pulling my prank.


Bambi sat on her chair and started to curl her hair. As dumb as she is, she actually made a mistake of looking in the mirror, even though she has no reflection. She sighed, and put the curler down and reached for the spray.


Suspense built up in me and she sprayed alot of that stuff in her hair. I stared, trying to pay attention, but the fog of the potion was to strong and clouded my view. All I could hear was Bambi coughing. I held my breath, trying not to cough myself.


At first, it was hard to see a clear view of Bambi, but pretty soon, the fog cleared and I was now able to see that she had changed into a giant ladybug!


And the best part was, she didn't know it!


Wow, did I want to laugh so hard, but I forced myself to hold it in, and I manage a huge grin instead.


"That's pretty strong stuff," dumb Bambi said, actually believing that it was the spray that was creating so much of this fog. She didn't even realize she was a ladybug, but then again, she has no reflection!


Bambi foolishly, took one of her antennas, actually believing it was a strand of hair, but to make matters funnier, she actually held the curling iron to her antenna and burned herself. She screamed out of pain, and looked at her strand of hair to finally realize it was an antenna. "Ah!" She screamed out of shock.


I couldn't help myself. I exploded into laughter. Bambi looked up at me. "Katherine!" she said angrily, realizing that I had caused all this.


It was definately too late to hide it now, but I didn't care. I was laughing so hard, I floated off the ceiling onto the floor with tears in my eyes, and I could feel my pink face becoming even pinker.


After laughing so much , I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, "That was classic!" I said with a smile. But then, I realized I was being cornered by my whole family. They all stood above me and had glares on their faces. My daddy was holding the now, dead black widow which was taking place of the camera it once was. My mommy stood there, with all six hands on her hips as a red ant. Tommy was breathing hard with angry blue-green eyes staring at me, all covered in ripped up spider web, with his fists to his sides. And Bambi was standing in front of all of them, with her hair spray bottle in her hand.


I was scared of what they were all going to do to me, but I still tried to keep my cool.


"Come on guys," I stumbled with a nervous smile on my face. "It was just a joke. Can't you take a joke?"


Bambi made a slight squirting noise with the spray as a threat to me.


That afternoon, after turning themselves back to normal, my cruel, cruel family turned me into a full giant butterfly and set me as a display in the front yard.


"Ten dollars!" Bambi had called out. "Ten dollars to take a picture with the giant butterfly."


My daddy was insanely clicking his camera all over the place and stupid, snot-nosed kids were actually in line to take a picture with me.


I sat on a chair and crossed my arms, with my "I hate you" eyes.


Mommy said this was my punishment, but this had to be the meanest, yet. I felt like a circus freak. Worse. I felt like Santa Claus, and I don't like that fat, old fraud!


Always invading into your house every Christmas just to drop a lump of coal into your stocking, while he drops presents into other kids' stockings. To me, that's not something to be excited about.


A dorky, little, chubby kid was like the first costumer and shoved ten dollars into the jar. He sat with me to take a picture and flashed a buck-tooth smile. But not me. I just contiuned to sit there glaring with my arms crossed.


My daddy was ready to take a picture, but told us to say "cheese" before he did. "Cheese!" that stupid kid yelled in my ear. I definately wasn't smiling. I may have said cheese, but I showed my gritted, angry teeth instead of grin. Besides, I never grin, unless I'm plotting a prank or revenge on someone.


After my daddy took the picture, he saw that I wasn't happy and said, "Cheer up, Katherine." He pointed to the next kid in line putting ten dollars into the jar. "Look how much money you're making!"


After hearing that, I became a little perkier and managed a small smile. "Yeah," I said taking the jar off the counter. "I guess I am making a lot of money."


Bambi snatched the jar out of my hands and placed it back on the counter. "Actually," she said smirking with her nose in the air, "I think you mean, I'm making a lot of money." she snickered and said, "It was my idea."


I glared at that stingy girl and stood up on the chair, "Whadeya mean, it was your idea? The money goes to me!" I pulled the jar closer to me.


"Actually, no." Bambi raised her voice. She pulled the jar away from me. "The money goes to me."


"No me!" I corrected.


"Me!" she argued back.


"I'm the main attraction!" i pointed out. "So it's my money!"


"Yeah, but I run this business!" Bambi said. "So it's mine!"


After arguing with each other, we looked down at the jar and suddenly, there was no money anymore!


"Hey," Bambi said curiously. "Where'd the money go."


We turned around at Tommy who was the only one who was sitting near us behind the counter. Tommy pointed the second customer behind us and said, "He took it!"


"What, me?" the kid pretended to play dumb. Both me and Bambi filled up with rage and we chased that kid down the street all the way to his house.





The End.

What should my best friend do?

I never had to deal with this problem, cuz thankfully I have naturally poofy supermodel lips.


My best female friend has what could be a pretty face. but no top lip. When she is talking, smiling, or has her mouth closed, her teeth stick out like a donkey. But she is not buck toothed. She literally has no top lip AT ALL. She is afraid that people will think that she is a country bumpkin because of her turtle mouth and stick out teeth.





But we are trying to figure out how big her collagen lip should be. I told her that she is cool and smart. And not to focus on the ugly things. But people say Yuck! when they see her.


Finally, when she was crying/ asking for advice I said that she should try to get a Barbie doll top lip like Kerry Washington or Kylie Minogue.


How much lip should she get? How much will it cost?


Please keep in mind, my friend has a perfect, poofy bottom lip. But no top lip. WHat should she do?


I want her to look natural. But she needs to be happy

What should my best friend do?
She should have a consult with a cosmetic surgeon- they usually have programs that can "try on" looks for her, so she can get it right.
Reply:see the doctor
Reply:Cologne its is not that expensive since it will be done on her upper lip like on Dr.90210
Reply:I know I already answered this question on the other page.





But take her to a plastic surgeon. They can determine what is good for her. None of us on this web site are professionals.





Good luck.

I think restylane is a good idea for her. Best of luck.

Please help!!!

What should my best friend do?
she should ask her dentist for advise, and he can refer her to a plastic surgeon which might be medically covered believe it or not- if it is considered like a deformity- i'm not being mean, i'm trying to help. i had to have plastic surgery for another reason, and it was paid for by my insurance. -it did wonders for my self-image. If a dentist won't refer her, she should call a medical referral hotline for a plastic surgeon that is board certified, and they can explain that to her. She needs to know everything about it including risks involved before having it done. you are a good friend to try to help her. best wishes to both of you.
Reply:if she gets collagen den get very little because my lips piss me off because there ******* huge n i want 2 knock people out sometimes
Reply:OK...I'm not sure if this question is true because you are so consided...but....a dermatologist will be able to determine how much lip she will be able to acquire through collagen or restalin...but if its really nonexistent..she might need to get an implant which is permanent...collagen only last for a few months and cost anywhere from $300 to 1000 dollars depending on how many injections she might need
Reply:She needs to go see a plastic surgeon and get help. Fast.





I know you are concerned but the way you wrote this question sounds a bit comical. But I know what you mean when you say "country bumpkin". I have noticed in movies, they never pick the lipless gals to play the pretty roles, its always the pouty lipped starlets with doe eyes. (or at least it used to be that way, yikes, nowadays in American movies they have beady eyed/ thin lipped gals running rampant. At least English people still have beauty standards, C.W. )


You sound pretty. You should probably model.


But as for your friend. I dunno, cuz no top lip usually = undershot, weak chin.





And what on earth is "consided", is that a new American word for conceited?





Word to the wise, C.W. don't listen to those above posters who cannot spell or seem to be behind the times, and quite jealous.

Do otters chew wood?

My mother and I were talking and came upon the question, Do otters chew wood? I say no because I don't think they have the teeth for that. My mother says they have buck teeth like beavers and they have to chew wood because their teeth constantly grow. I can not find anything on the web that says they do chew wood. I was hoping some other yahoo members would like to prove me right lol.

Do otters chew wood?
Well, here's the score---you are kind of EVEN---Otters HAVE teeth----they are CARNIVORES (meat eaters)--not wood. They have been known to use STONES to break open shell fish to eat but NO WHERE did I read a thing about chewing wood...
Reply:Otters don't have buck teeth like beavers, actually. They also don't chew wookd like beavers.

Help from anyone with braces??

I sort of have buck teeth. It's minor, but enough to stand out and make my lips harder to shut. Seriously, when my jaw is relaxed, my lips are a little open.... :(





It takes more effort to close my mouth and it gets a little annoying...but otherwise, I guess I am okay with my teeth. My mom always mentions to me how my teeth make my mouth look shaped like a duck. She wants me to get braces.





The thing is, I'm a little afraid of getting them..I heard that it hurt..is this true? My friends said it only hurts a little, but how much is "little"?





How long does it take for braces to come off...usually?





And umm...my best friend told me that braces make your lips go "out" more, like a duck...Is it that bad?





Thank you for your help!!!! :)

Help from anyone with braces??
you'll look funny for a little bit, but it's DEFINITELY worth it. Braces don't hurt that much, usually for only the first two days or so. You can take painkillers to subdue the pain.





But like I said, it's worth it.





*edit*


the orthodontist will tell you that you cant chew gum anymore or eat any really chewy candy. Some orthodontists say no soda, but I drank soda AND chewed gum and I still turned out okay.





I think it's just a precaution so a bracket doesn't come loose or the soda doesn't stain your teeth.





Some orthodontists will recommend that you get a waterpick, but I don't think this is necessary as long as you brush well.
Reply:It doesn't hurt really its more of a minor soreness. And the soreness is only for the first couple days after you get them tightened but it isn't anything to worry about. As far as looking like a duck, they do push your lips out a little but I just thought that it made my lips look fuller. I'm sure it won't be that bad. They can come off rather quickly but it depends on how bad your teeth are. Should be anywhere from 1-4 years.
Reply:Braces themselves do not hurt. What actually hurts are your teeth being shifted in your mouth. They are usually more sensitive right after an adjustment and you get used to it very quickly. If you are concerned with how the braces will work, you might check into invisiline. Rather than the traditional method, invisiline is like a cap that goes over the teeth. You change them periodically as your teeth shift.





Good luck!
Reply:hey well they do hurt but only for like 3 -5 days. it hurts like a bruse on your leg but you can stand it for some people it can hurt and others it dosent hurt at all. the braces will make your lips jut out more but it is all worth it. you usually have them on for a bout 2 years and up. i hade mine on for 2 years and like 2 or 3 months!!!!!the braces are sooo worth it and after you get then and get them off you will be more confident and your duck teeth will be no more. and don't be suppprized if they have to pull out some of your teeth. they had to pull out 4 of mine. it does not really hurt that much just a poke when the put the novicane in
Reply:Oh...I have some.I've had them for 8 months.There are precautions.





-On the first day it does hurt,like you don't want to eat soilds I recomend bringing soup to work/school for lunch.Some dentist give wax bites and othr stuff.


-They don't make your lips go out,at least that I know of.


-Careful what you eat!If you drink lots of soda your teeth will get dirty while where your brakets will stay the same and if your teeth get dirty,you will have spots.


-Careful agian some dentis charge after a certian number of brackets are broken.I broke all four of my free ones and a extra the 4 were fe the 5th..25$.





That is all about what I have to say..your orthodontis will tell you more
Reply:Braces will help you in the long run. You may have some initial discomfort, but you will soon get over it.

?do braces really matter?

cuz i got buck-teeth (or wat my dad used to call me is bugs bunny teeth)





cuz a few of my friends say thats ok...your teeth r good...u dont need braces

?do braces really matter?
To some people its just assumed they will have perfect teeth. What drives them is just expectation. With other people it's internal motivation. If you really want something you will work to get it, cost isn't a issue. What you have to remember is that sometimes people who think you have bucked teeth will be making decisions that affect you. A potentional employer, a traffic officer, anyone. . . your appearance does affect the way you are treated. It's not right, But it is human nature. So if you are on the fence and trying to decide you should consider everything. Bad and Good.





On the good side;


Straight teeth are easier to maintain, so they tend to last longer. AFter braces people smile more.





Good Luck Deciding
Reply:braces only help you straighten your teeth. to me- they make you look hotter if youre a guy =D Report It

Reply:braces only matter if you want it too
Reply:braces do matter b/c they do strighten your teeth
Reply:no
Reply:braces dont really look the best all the time but when they are off your teeth are grrreat!
Reply:get 'em unless you wanna look funny for the rest of your life.
Reply:Braces do matter. I just got braces at age 18. I don't have crooked teeth, but I do have a severly misaligned jaw with a 100% deep bite (my top front teeth completely cover my bottoms). This causes me to have jaw problems and I have excessive wear on some of my teeth. My suggestion would be to go to an orthodontist and get a consultation. He/she will tell you exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. If you are skeptical, ask what will happen if you don't get them.

Go ahead and have a consultation with an orthodontist to see what they suggest. They're the pro's in this area. Most orthodontists will give a free consultation.

Story I wrote! Any opinions??? Help!!?

You see, I wrote this story and I need your commentary on it. Hope you like it!





I was walking to my room, when I thought I spotted something shiny in my sister, Bambi's room. I walked in, climbed on the chair (it took me a while, cuz that stupid, green, frilly chair's too tall to reach.)


Anyways, I saw this big bottle with curly letters and a picture of a girl's hair on the front. And since I'm very, very smart for my age, I was able to read exactly what it said; It said, "Hair Care Hair Spray". It was some kind of dumb hair product. But then, my eyes caught the lower part of the bottle. Right there, in big letters, it says "MIGHTY HOLD." I smiled to myself. Imagine the possibilities with this! I pictured spraying my family with that stuff and they would turn so stiff, they would fall over like boards! Ha! Imagine what a beautiful hoot that would be!


I reached over to grab the hair spray, until Bambi sped in the room and snatched it off the dresser before I could. I turned to look at her and she stood there spraying her long, brown hair with that snobby look on her face.


I thought about what to do. I knew Bambi wasn't going to hand off that spray to me easily; so I decided to ask nicely.


"Bambi?" I asked politely. "May I please use your 'Hair Care Hair Spray MIGHTY HOLD?"


"No." Bambi said greedily.


"Please?" I still intended to ask nicely. "Please with a cherry on top?-"


"No!" Bambi yelled at me.


My polite grin turned into gritting teeth. I was mad. How dare she tell me no?! I asked her politely and she refused!


"Besides, " that Bambi dared to continue. "This spray's only for mature people."


Mom called from the living room, "Bambi! Seaweed Sockpuppet is on!"


"Oh my gosh, I gotta watch it!" Bambi squealed. She was so excited, she dropped the spray and darted out of the room.


Yeah...pretty mature for a twelve-year-old to still like watching Seaweed the Sockpuppet. After she left, I picked up the spray, thought for a while, then smiled cleverly at the bottle. It was time for payback.


Yesterday, my grandma, Darla from my daddy's side had sent me a Science Kit, where you could create your own potions and make your own experiments.


I quickly ran out of the room and into the dining room. My family was sitting in the living room watching Seaweed Sockpuppet. Bambi's eyes were glued to the TV, so she didn't see me slip outside the backdoor with the hair spray.


I ran behind the big tree we have in the yard and found my science kit. I leaned against the tree and looked at the back of the box and it said; "Just Add Water".


Just add water? With what?


Then, a butterfly landed on my nose, then flew away next to the tree. I turned around and also found a ladybug and a caterpillar crawling on the trunk.


This gave me an idea. What if I made some sort of bug juice, poured it into the bottle and turned Bambi into a bug! That would be classic! And perfect payback.


I looked around to make sure anyone was looking. I'm not allowed to use my powers alone anymore.


I focused on the bugs and snapped my fingers. The three bugs trembled a little, then a ray of bright light surrounded them. They turned into liquid and I quickly opened the bottle to collect the juice. I closed it.


"Now to test it." I said to myself. I looked around the yard and spotted Rufus taking a nap next to the screen door.


I smiled and called, "Oh, Rufus!"


The mangy and furry mutt turned his lazy head toward me with annoyance in his eyes for waking him up.


I gestured my finger for him to come.


He sat up, yawned and stretched himself from both sides, dramatically. After he finished, he slowly walked up to me.


I held the bottle right in front of his nose and said, "Try this."


The picky dog pulled back his neck, sniffed it, then stuck out his tongue in disgust. He turned and held his head and tail up high. But before he walked away, I sprayed the stuff at him at the back of the head. He immediatly turned to look at me and shook the liquid off him. Little did he know, after he completely dried himself off, he was a giant caterpillar!


My eyes grew in shock as I drew back with a big smile on my face. "Tight!" I thought. I was surprised and amazed at the same time!


That mindless dog wasn't even aware that he had changed form. Rufus glared at me, rolled his eyes and walked away to his water bowl. He peered in and saw a strange shape in the water of his reflection. He stared confusingly at the water, then slowly lifted his head to see his clear reflection in the backdoor.


He cried out of fear and immediatly dashed behind me, afraid of his own reflection.


"Wow" I said, still in awe looking at the bottle. "It works!"


Rufus was still whimpering cowardly behind me, even too afraid to put his legs over his eyes, which were once his paws.


"I calmed myself from laughing and sighed happily, looking at the bottle. Imagine how funny this would be with Bambi! Especially since she has no reflection, how is she going to know!


I collected my science kit and the juice and heading inside. But since I had so many things in my hands and nobody bothered to help me, I had to manage opening that dumb door myself.


With the juice still in my hand, I pushed the glass sliding door open to let myself in. My science kit box was in my other hand, threatening to fall. It wobbled, then finally fell to the ground.


"Oops." I muttered as I placed the bug juice bottle on the kitchen counter next to me and bent down to pick up the box. Little did I know, I had done a big mistake.


My mommy was stirring soup, and gossiping on the phone about Daddy to my Aunt Terry. But I didn't realize, until I turned around to collect the bottle, that Mommy had taken it off the counter and was now pouring it into the soup!


I held my hands to my mouth and gasped with wide eyes. If my mommy found out about this, I was going to be in so much trouble. And to make matters worse, Mommy dipped a big spoon in the pot and sipped some of the soup! And she turned into a giant, fiery red ant! And she didn't know it!


Now, I was really in shock as my eyes grew wider. Now, I would really get it. Well, it was too late to hide that. I wasn't going to tell my mommy that she was an ant. The only solution I could do, was to definately get that bottle, hide and hope that Mommy maybe, by chance, will not discover it's actually me this time.


I sneaked over next to my mommy to get the bottle which was sitting next to the stove, but before I could even get to it, more bad luck came my way (as it always does) and my mommy picked up the bottle and placed it on the highest shelf of the food cabinet.


After following all this, I stared up hopelessly at that bottle way high away from my reach. Perfect. Knowing the fact that I could barely reach the short chair that Bambi had in her room, there was no way I was going to get to that bottle-


"Scuse me, sweetie," my mommy crossed me, to get to the other side of the kitchen.


Unless...I climb. I looked up at the tall cabinet and found that it was my only choice. Before I started, I looked back at my mommy to see if she was paying attention. Hopefully she wasn't; she had her back towards me and she was cutting vegetables and still gossiping on the phone.


After checking, I begin to quickly and quietly climb the cabinet shelves to get to my destiny. As I was high up, since I was terrified of heights and never looked down, only looked up to the bottle, I didn't turn around, but kept my ears open, making sure that my mommy's footsteps were not heard anywhere around me. I heard her walk a few times, but I only faithfully assumed that she was cutting the vegetables and walking over to the stove to drop the vegetables in while still talking on the phone, since she never said anything to me.


As I got higher, I was finally able to see the bottle in reach! I stretched my arm over to grab it, but realized that my arm was shorter than I thought. After straining so hard, I managed to still try to grab on to it. Finally, I suceeded. I grabbed the bottle and held them with both hands. Unfortunately, bad luck occured after this. It always does for me.


I felt myself feeling unbalanced over the shelf I was standing around. I was so panicked, I kept waving my arms around instead of grabbing on to the shelf in front of me. But before I could even think to do that, I was already falling off the shelf and to the floor and cans crashed down with me.


I knew Mommy had heard me. She turned around and gasped at me.


I could barely say anything to her. I lifted my head from the pile of cans and held my head. "Oh..." is all I muttered, trying to gain conciousness.


"Katherine!" she shouted angrily.


My name said angrily, made me cringe and I immediately grabbed the bug juice from out of the pile of cans and held it close to my chest with a scared look on my face.


"What on earth are you doing?!" Mommy asked. I knew I was going to get it. But then, Mommy stopped shouting at me for a second, and turned to her phone.


"Whadeya mean I am pretty hasty?!" Mommy said with a glare on her face.


Perfect! She was now distracted by Aunt Terry's arguements! Now it was my chance to escape. I stumbled to my feet and ran out the kitchen before Mommy could catch me.


I ran as fast as I could down the hall still with the juice in my hand. I looked back over my shoulder to see if Mommy had seen me, but because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I crashed into someone and fell. The bottle had fallen out of my hand and into the floor.


I sat up from lying down on the ground and looked up to realize it was my daddy who I had crashed into. My daddy stood there, looking down at me, holding his camera in his hands, which was connected to a black strap around his neck.


He glanced over to the bottle on the floor and he gasped in excitement with twinkling eyes. We all knew that when my daddy gasped in excitement with twinkling eyes, it meant trouble.


"Thanks, Sweetie!" my daddy said, snatching the bug juice off the ground.


"Wait, Daddy!" I tried to stop him. But of course, he didn't listen to me. He never listens to anyone.


"I was looking all over for this camera polisher!"


"Daddy, no!" But it was already too late. My daddy had already poured that stuff onto a cloth he fished from his pocket and was now polishing his camera with the bug juice.


"There we are." Daddy said, when he was done polishing and he flinged the cloth off the camera and on my head. Although, he did not notice yet, I stood there staring, as if I had just seen an amazing magic trick, with my mouth open at what he now had in his hands.


It wasn't until he lifted it up to his face and smiled as he said, "Good as new."


That camera, was no longer a camera, but a giant black widow. The spider hissed into my daddy's face, and my daddy screamed out of fright. My daddy flung that thing off him and ran down the hall and into the kitchen screaming as loud as he could. I ran after him to see if he would tell Mommy and if I would get in trouble. I peeked around the corner to see what would happen. My mommy turned from her cooking to see my daddy running towards her. "Dan!" my mommy worriedly tried to communicate through his yelling voice. "What's the matter."


My daddy turned his head to now see that my mommy was an ant. He screamed louder, then he fainted on the floor.


"Dan!" My mommy said, kneeling over to him.


I stared in disbelief. I just had to be dreaming. I cannot believe I still did not get caught for what I did! I turned my back to them with a worried look on my face. Then, I started to smile, and then I started chuckling! I couldn't help but think that all this was just funny and suspenseful at the same time.


"Katherine!" I heard a voice calling me. After hearing this voice, I immediatetly stopped laughing. I glanced over my shoulder to show my mommy that I was paying attention, but did not give her direct eye contact.


"What's so funny?" My mommy raised an eyebrow. This meant she was suspicious.


I hid the bottle behind my back and slightly slided over towards the hallway. "Um..."I stuttered with a nervous smile on my face. "Nothing." I said quickly, then darted down the hall.


That was it. I thought to myself as I ran. No more fooling around. Just pull the prank that you're trying to pull and get it over with. It was not worth moping around and getting yourself in near trouble.


After passing my brother, Tommy's room, I heard my name being called. And I was relieved to find it wasn't the disciplinary call of my name.


"Katherine!" I heard. I stopped running and backed up to look in Tommy's room. That pathetic boy was all trapped and wrapped up in a giant web in which that black widow had created, as prey.


"Help!" Tommy cried like a baby.


I gave him a look of empathy, as though I was going to help him. I held the bottle in front of me and sprayed the juice at him.


Tommy began coughing at the smoke the potion was making. After the smoke cleared off, he looked down at himself and then realized he was still trapped as he was before, but this time, he was a fly.


He glared at me and angrily shouted, "Katherine!"


"Hey," I chuckled. "You said to help." and I took off.


"HELP ME!" I heard Tommy shout back at me. "NOT THE SPIDER!!"


I chuckled again. It was classic.


As I reached Bambi's room, I creeped in to put the bottle, disguised as her hair spray, on her dresser.


"Now where is that darn curler..." I suddenly heard a voice. I gasped and hid the bottle behind my back to see Bambi, with her face in the closet, fumbling all her books to find that iron.


I slowly tippy-toed in front of her dresser and strained, trying to reach over her seat just to place the bug juice at the edge. But of course, knowing how incredibly short my arm was, I couldn't reach. The only way I would be able to set in on top of the dresser is if I was to climb that stupid chair and I simply did not have time for that.


I waved the bottle around, trying to at least stand it up on the dresser.


"Oh, here it is!" Bambi suddenly spoke again. I gasped looking back at her to see if she had seen me yet. I was still struggling to stand the bottle up and had finally done it by pressing my hand over the top. However, I did not realize what I had did until I looked back at the bottle and saw that I had turned my big pigtails into butterfly wings! Because I had pressed down on the trigger trying to stand it up! I gasped louder. I was frightened what to do next. Luckily, I was able to think quick before Bambi turned around and I flew up to the ceiling with my butterfuly wings and pressed my back against it, so she would find me. The lucky thing was, was that because I was able to fly, I had placed the bottle perfectly and quickly how it was before, instead of leaving it suspiciously sitting at the edge.


I stared down from the ceiling at Bambi. I was relieved that I was able to still get this far to pulling my prank.


Bambi sat on her chair and started to curl her hair. As dumb as she is, she actually made a mistake of looking in the mirror, even though she has no reflection. She sighed, and put the curler down and reached for the spray.


Suspense built up in me and she sprayed alot of that stuff in her hair. I stared, trying to pay attention, but the fog of the potion was to strong and clouded my view. All I could hear was Bambi coughing. I held my breath, trying not to cough myself.


At first, it was hard to see a clear view of Bambi, but pretty soon, the fog cleared and I was now able to see that she had changed into a giant ladybug!


And the best part was, she didn't know it!


Wow, did I want to laugh so hard, but I forced myself to hold it in, and I manage a huge grin instead.


"That's pretty strong stuff," dumb Bambi said, actually believing that it was the spray that was creating so much of this fog. She didn't even realize she was a ladybug, but then again, she has no reflection!


Bambi foolishly, took one of her antennas, actually believing it was a strand of hair, but to make matters funnier, she actually held the curling iron to her antenna and burned herself. She screamed out of pain, and looked at her strand of hair to finally realize it was an antenna. "Ah!" She screamed out of shock.


I couldn't help myself. I exploded into laughter. Bambi looked up at me. "Katherine!" she said angrily, realizing that I had caused all this.


It was definately too late to hide it now, but I didn't care. I was laughing so hard, I floated off the ceiling onto the floor with tears in my eyes, and I could feel my pink face becoming even pinker.


After laughing so much , I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, "That was classic!" I said with a smile. But then, I realized I was being cornered by my whole family. They all stood above me and had glares on their faces. My daddy was holding the now, dead black widow which was taking place of the camera it once was. My mommy stood there, with all six hands on her hips as a red ant. Tommy was breathing hard with angry blue-green eyes staring at me, all covered in ripped up spider web, with his fists to his sides. And Bambi was standing in front of all of them, with her hair spray bottle in her hand.


I was scared of what they were all going to do to me, but I still tried to keep my cool.


"Come on guys," I stumbled with a nervous smile on my face. "It was just a joke. Can't you take a joke?"


Bambi made a slight squirting noise with the spray as a threat to me.


That afternoon, after turning themselves back to normal, my cruel, cruel family turned me into a full giant butterfly and set me as a display in the front yard.


"Ten dollars!" Bambi had called out. "Ten dollars to take a picture with the giant butterfly."


My daddy was insanely clicking his camera all over the place and stupid, snot-nosed kids were actually in line to take a picture with me.


I sat on a chair and crossed my arms, with my "I hate you" eyes.


Mommy said this was my punishment, but this had to be the meanest, yet. I felt like a circus freak. Worse. I felt like Santa Claus, and I don't like that fat, old fraud!


Always invading into your house every Christmas just to drop a lump of coal into your stocking, while he drops presents into other kids' stockings. To me, that's not something to be excited about.


A dorky, little, chubby kid was like the first costumer and shoved ten dollars into the jar. He sat with me to take a picture and flashed a buck-tooth smile. But not me. I just contiuned to sit there glaring with my arms crossed.


My daddy was ready to take a picture, but told us to say "cheese" before he did. "Cheese!" that stupid kid yelled in my ear. I definately wasn't smiling. I may have said cheese, but I showed my gritted, angry teeth instead of grin. Besides, I never grin, unless I'm plotting a prank or revenge on someone.


After my daddy took the picture, he saw that I wasn't happy and said, "Cheer up, Katherine." He pointed to the next kid in line putting ten dollars into the jar. "Look how much money you're making!"


After hearing that, I became a little perkier and managed a small smile. "Yeah," I said taking the jar off the counter. "I guess I am making a lot of money."


Bambi snatched the jar out of my hands and placed it back on the counter. "Actually," she said smirking with her nose in the air, "I think you mean, I'm making a lot of money." she snickered and said, "It was my idea."


I glared at that stingy girl and stood up on the chair, "Whadeya mean, it was your idea? The money goes to me!" I pulled the jar closer to me.


"Actually, no." Bambi raised her voice. She pulled the jar away from me. "The money goes to me."


"No me!" I corrected.


"Me!" she argued back.


"I'm the main attraction!" i pointed out. "So it's my money!"


"Yeah, but I run this business!" Bambi said. "So it's mine!"


After arguing with each other, we looked down at the jar and suddenly, there was no money anymore!


"Hey," Bambi said curiously. "Where'd the money go."


We turned around at Tommy who was the only one who was sitting near us behind the counter. Tommy pointed the second customer behind us and said, "He took it!"


"What, me?" the kid pretended to play dumb. Both me and Bambi filled up with rage and we chased that kid down the street all the way to his house.
