My son is a child actor and takes part in various plays, mostly in his drama group. He was recently preparing to a play with action in the 1920s. Few weeks before the dress rehearsals he comes back quite upset. [Me]: Whats wrong? Anything happened? [Son]: NoooothingThey told us that we would have to wear braces. Im not too keen on them. [Me-clearly confused]: Why? Whats wrong with braces? [Son]: I dont know, I dont think I would enjoy it I collected him after first dress rehearsal. He comes out laughing to tears. [Me]: Tell me whats so funny. [Son]: Braces! You know, I told you that we would have to have braces in this play. [Me]: Yesand what about them? Whats so funny about braces? [Son]: I was sure they would make us wear teeth braces! Not the piece of old fashioned clothing! I made the teachers laugh to tears! Well, I still dont know how he thought people wore teeth braces in the 1920s. I am sure if there were any, they were quite gruesome and not widely available. And how on Earth the staff would force kids to make a performance in them? :)
