Why I Stopped Smiling: Based On True Thoughts

Part Three: Meet Evie Carter

Hello everyone! My name is Evie Carter and I go to South Shore Middle School and I'm proud of it! I have three other siblings. Two girls and one boy. So altogether, there are three girls and one boy, including me. I love my siblings and all but sometimes, they test me. And when they test me, things get ugly. Big time ugly. Right now, I am going to tell you about each sibling of mine.

   -Addison Carter. Nickname: Gummy. Reason for the Nickname: Almost always has gum in her mouth and her favorite candy is gummy bears. Personality Type: She acts like a teenager all the time. Even though she isn't. She is only ten. Loves animals but hates cats. She despises them, I don't even know why. All I know is, is that she is allergic to them. Whatever, but she loves dogs! That's a plus!

   -Caden Carter. Nickname: Outlet. Reason for the Nickname: He knows a ton of random facts. Personality Type: He is very random. For example, if there is no conversation happening he'll just try to start a conversations by saying, "Hey! Does anyone here know why there is so much foam in a root beer float? I know!" Yeah, he's that kind of person. He's weird, but I love him!

-Belle Carter. Nickname: Fish Sticks. Reason For the Nickname: Loves seafood, (especially fish). Personality Type: She is pretty funny. Loves fish, as I said. She loves school, but hates the homework part. And, she hates the dentist but loves the doctor. (I don't understand her either!)

   So, I guess that I am suppose to be telling you my opinion about smiling in pictures. My thing about that is, I don't smile in pictures because I absolutely hate my smile. All my teeth, and I mean all of my teeth, are all crooked. One of them is going one way, and the other is going another way. I hate it! And, I don't want to go down in the picture history as having a terrible smile. I mean, I had a better smile as a baby, when I had no teeth at all!

   Another reason I don't smile in photos is because I think that I just look better without showing my teeth at all in pictures. I mean, who would really want to see a girl with horrid teeth in a nice family photo? Exactly, me neither. I have never had braces, and I'm not sure I will. I hope I do, but at the same time, everyone in school who has braces only complains about their braces. They all keep saying how much they hurt, and how much they hate them. But my feelings towards braces is that, if they are going to fix my teeth, I want them. Period. But, that's just me. So yes, sometimes I smile in pictures, but very rarely. When I do, I don't show my teeth. Thanks for reading!
