One of my earliest memories is watching my Grandma (Soveran) taking her teeth out of her mouth. I am pretty sure it scarred me for life, but she just used to laugh. I suppose she might have been teaching me a valuable lesson about what you expect to be real and true may not be.
Well, Leah isn’t getting dentures (yet), but she does have a tendancy to grind her teeth when she sleeps. This usually happens when she is really stressed out and she has chipped some of the enamel on her teeth. So she got a mouth guard. In order to get a properly fitted mouth guard apparently they had to make a mould. Which I didn’t know and so Leah—as a surprise—decided to leave this on the nightstand and it freaked me out.
And even worse? NO TONGUE!
In any case, Leah has to soak her dentures/retainer/mouth guard in Polident every night. So, I suspect in the coming years she will ease very nicely into being a grandma.
Even with your pretend desire to make out with an 18 year old...
