There's Hope

As I was setting up Big Kid's Twitter account, he saw the picture I was uploading:

Big Kid: I dest took two bad pitchers.

Ashley: What do you mean?

Big Kid: Dat one and my school pitcher. I smiled like dis (recreates his goofy, teeth-baring grimace of a grin)

Ashley: No! They're both pretty good pictures. That one you were showing your missing bottom teeth. Your school one was...pretty good.

Big Kid: I dest need to stop smilin' like dat dough. I don't like it.

Ashley: (laughing)

Big Kid: Don't laugh. Dey aren't dat bad. You're makin' me mad now.
