Owen owed his overbite to his Oracle Grandmother, Ophelia. Dr. Orson, Owen's odd orthodontist, objected to the ordinary. Owen's opulent orthodontia were occupied with opals and obsidian. Olive observed Owen, obscure in his oblique oddness. He was original. He occupied her mind. She was obsessed and obliged to make an overture. He was oblivious, obtuse. So Olive offered him an objective observation. “Your originality is outstanding! Join me in an occasional offering at the ocean, won't you?” Owen ogled Olive. Olives ocular adornments were as outrageous as his orthodontics. There was a faint odor of oranges: a good omen.

I don't know why you come up with these drabble stories, must be a lot of work.
Good luck all the way
Owen leads a unique life.
That's a whole lotta Os!
I like that oranges are a good omen, for I like oranges. :)
O, for some outrageous orthodontia! (Been there--I was a true metal mouth.)
