put your money where your mouth is

Anyone remember that line from those old Close-Up toothpaste commercials? I think that's where it came from anyway. At any rate, it is quite a literal phrase. Jared & Ryan went to the orthodontist and Jared got full braces on and Ryan got his removed. Jared's teeth are hurting -- poor kid. I KNOW how it feels! What I didn't know is that a wallet can hurt too! Hmm, I must be the parent now. Therefore, I can say that it is totally worth it when its all over.
