"What's it like to have a gap between your teeth?" a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever 36 before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for 37 , I realized she was not trying to be rude. "I never think about it," I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people 38 me and saw only gappy teeth.
