No, no taffy either! Man, oh, man, you don't wanna snap one of those wires! No nuts, no apples, especially No caramel apples, no gum, no corn-on-the-cob ... no fun! I had braces for two years, 2 months and 14 days - which was about 2 months longer thaan my mom expected, so that year I got nuts in my Christmas stocking ( tradition in my family - a tangerine in the toe, the foot filled with peanuts and other nuts-in-the-shells, then goodies in the long part of the tsocking) becuase we all thought I'd have them off any day ... when we went to the orthodontist the week after Christmas, he said - nope - not for another couple months ... so my Mom, in apology, made walnut butter and peanut butter out of what I had saved. They were both pretty good, actually, but we were alll glad when I got my braces off!
