avery: mom do you think you can get some of those things that go on your teeth for anna.
mom: you mean braces.
avery: yeah.
mom: she doesn't need them. why would we do that?
avery: they make you look cool. (he is way into looking cool)
mom: they don't make you look cool. in fact, they make you look kind of nerdy.
avery: they don't make kennon look nerdy (that is jenean's son who is in the 2nd grade and already has braces).

when do braces become uncool, because right now avery thinks they are so cool!
