thank you, teeth!

Saturday I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. On my way out, I walked by the gumball machines and thought I would stop and find something really dumb to surprise my husband with. Well, I was going to drop some coins in the Homiez machine when I saw the best gumball prize of all.

Fake. Rotten. Teeth.

I put in my coins. As I turned the metal knob I knew I was making the right choice. Out popped a clear gumball machine "egg" with a yellow top. I could see the plastic goodness inside.

I waited until I got to the car to open my prize - I didn't want to drop it. I opened up the plastic egg and there were my fake, rotten teeth. I fit them over my real teeth and proceeded to drive home with these teeth in. I really hope someone saw me driving with them in. I also tried to sing along to the radio with them - it didn't work.

When I got home, my husband was in the den watching football. Only the lamp and the TV were on and so the lighting was kind of dim. When he finally noticed my teeth, his jaw dropped and he said, "What happened to your teeth?!" I busted out lauging adn then the teeth started to fall out of my mouth.

For the next hour, I kept the teeth in and kept singing, "Let's make love" by Faith Hill. He was grossed out and kept asking me to get rid of the teeth. I just couldn't. They were great.

Then, it happened.

We had to go to Target. I said that I would drive there with my new teeth in. Well, I put them back in the egg and left them in the car. When we got home, I couldn't find them. I was so afraid that they fell out of the car at Target. I really was upset. My husband says that I told him (in a panic) that I needed to find the teeth because I needed them for work. I don't know where that came from but he swears that I said it.

Finally, I went out and found the teeth (in the egg) under the car seat. I wore them all around the house and just kept laughing about them. I finally convinced my husband to try them and I almost peed my pants because I was laughing so hard. I haven't laughed that hard at anything in a really long time. It was then that I said those magic words...

Thank you teeth!
