My Grandpa took his whole top row of teeth out to brush. They looked real. “How do you do that?” My four-year-old self asked him.
“Oh don’t worry,” he said, “you’ll be able to do it soon.” Thinking he meant it was something that required practice, I kept tugging at my teeth. He just laughed.

smarmoofus – Yes this is the one you inspired.
You only love kids’ brains because they’re the only ones you can reach. *ducks*
LOL! children can be so adorable in their innocence!
We dragons never lose our teeth. We don’t even have a dragon dentist. Poor little kid is going to keep thinking there is some trick to getting them out.
Great 55

I did that with my grandchildren when they were little. If I did it now they would say ” O Grampa how gross”.
Very, very, creative 55

ROFL!! I used to watch my Dad do the same, and I’d try and try and TRY to pull my teeth out, oh Lord did this bring memories and laughs.
Wonderful 55! Happy Friday!

Funny how children perceive things we say so literally. My father-in-law used to put his teeth on the table and we eventually were conditioned not to be grossed out by it. I think I CAN wait to experience that for myself.
