haha.. Gosh, why did you do that?? Ummm... just pretend you cant find them, and fake cry while you do it, and put red blush all over your face and stuff... and be REALLY worried. lol. i wouldnt do that, but hey, im poor.. lol
How about this:
Okay... everyone one in the room who has a daughter who still has her retainer... take a giant step forward... NOT SO FAST... MOM!
Offer to do chores to help play for a new one and just be honest
That was a silly thing to do...the only thing you can do is tell her straight, it wont change what you have done.
say you dropped it and it broke
help pay for a new one
:]
I should tell her now in a very calm and apologetic manner. Be mature and own up to your responsibilities! and definitely suggest that you are the one that will pay for replacements.
be honest...
tell her u feel bad.. do more chores...
i mean, come on, it happens. - it was an accident
and try to only wear it at night.
Throw away your backpack, too, and say that you'd put your retainers in it for lunch and someone stole it.
Or do it the easy way and just tell her the truth. She'll be even more ticked if she knows you're lying or have hidden it from her.
Yea, my daughter lost hers about 3 times, we have been through more trash cans than I care to remember. Problem is it is just soooooo easy to do. Throw yourself on the sword and get it over with immediately, admit it right when you get home and be as remorseful as you obviously feel. It's an accident, expensive accident but an accident nontheless. Sorry, it is a bummer -----sigh.
um, just sit your mom down and calmly say look mom Im not gonna lie to you, today at lunch something bad happened, (she will think the worst that what moms do which will make her concerned for YOU) then say I accidently LOST my retainer Ive looked everywhere for it I put it in my pocket whn I ateand whn i went to put it back on after luch when everyone was leaveing it wasnt in my pocket anymore i dont know what happend and Im really srry (tip if you cry for example and act angry about it and more upset about it then her she wont be as mad) hope this helps =) GL
blame it on another kid. say some kid stole them off your lunch tray and threw them away!lol or just tell her straight up and take it like a man... unless ur a girl, then don't do that... ive done it like three times so dont worry parents never get as mad as u think if u tell them straight up.
well that happened to my friend adn her mom actually went to theschool and searched through alll the trash and found it! haha. But luckily i have not lost mine (yet!) :)
good luck!
I ALWAYS lost my retainer...
So here's what you do...:
You go up to your mom and look really upset... Say.....
I forgot my retainer was in an i started eating with it. i realized i had it in so i took it out and put it in the tray. Without realizing it the lunch lady must've came by and took my tray and threw it away. I didn't notice it was missing until about last period. I'm soooooo sorry!
or tell the truth. Mom's like honesty.. but ur mom has no way of catching you if you do what i said.
OMG!!!! I did the same thing when I was a freshman in high school (this was my second retainer too, the first one I kept chewing on lol)
So what I basically did, after it was passed garbage night at home ( i was so bad wearing it at home) well I blamed it on my brother that it was wrapped in a napkin and he must have thrown it away after dinner lol...nobody got in trouble and she never knew the truth lol...hmmm maybe i should tell her this funny story tonight....that was years ago so she can't punnish me lol...
Blame it on a sibling like me or sometimes the truth is the best way to go....stress how upset you are and try to cry too...tell her you are really sorry, blah blah, hope it works out for you!
Just tell the truth, and tell her something you would do to differently next time in order to avoid the same problem.
Tell the truth. The truth would never hurt. Off course, you mom would get mad and yell at you but look at all the things they have done for you. If you calmly tell the truth, things are going to get better than to lie away and hide yourself!
