Dumpster Diving for Treasure

One of my friends called me this morning to tell me how she spent her evening the other night. It involved two of her children, a couple of her son's retainers and the inside of the junior high school trash dumpsters. Let's just say it was not her favorite family home evening activity and she won't be enjoying pepperoni pizza or hamburgers for awhile. Groty man!

Oh, they did find the retainers--saving the son $300.00 (as he said - his allowance until he was 18.) as the parents paid for the first set but he had been told he would have to pay for any lost retainers. Though just think--he actually had to put those dumpster worn retainers back in his mouth. Consider this. What if he wasn't the only junior high student who threw away his retainers that day? Hey, I'm just saying . . .
