Snaggletooth
I have always admired people with LARGE teeth, mostly because mine are teeny-tiny. Tonight I was reminded of the time that I was blessed with a large tooth. It was glorious.
My front right tooth is fake – I lost it in a haunted house gone bad when I was in second grade. When I was in college my fake tooth fell out leaving the brown numb for all to see. It was pretty disgusting and my memories are of people telling me that they did not want to look at the nub.I had to call one of my professors to let him know that I wouldn’t be in class because I’d lost a tooth!
When I finally made it to the dentist I was informed that I’d have to wear a prosthetic for a couple weeks while waiting for my new crown to come in. Here is the best part: the prosthetic tooth was HUGE! Imagine Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber or Bugs Bunny. It was a dream come true, I finally had a huge, white tooth!
Granted, I couldn’t close my mouth or even chew, but dang I could smile. I’m sad that I don’t have any pictures of that tooth. She was a good one. I had a dream recently that I lost my fake tooth again. Does this mean that I could possibly again be blessed with a large, white fake tooth in my near future?
Does She Ever Stop Smiling?
