A Tooth Story

Since niece Katy is losing teeth, I thought I would share the story of my most memorable loose tooth.

My birthday is in July so I have celebrated many birthdays in Long Island while visiting Grandma and Pop. On one of these visits as a young child, I was not only anticipating my birthday, but also losing a tooth. One of my front teeth was very lose and going to come out any day. But, it was also one of my first teeth to come out and I wasn't brave enough to pull it. Pop kept on teasing me about my loose tooth. He asked me what I wanted for my birthday dinner. I can't remember all the foods I asked for, but one of them was corn. "Okay, corn on the cob." He said.
Wait a second..."I can't eat corn on the cob! You'll have to take it off."
"Nope, you're getting corn on the cob."
So for the next few days I was wondering how I was going to eat corn on the cob with a loose front tooth!
On my birthday I woke up and could feel something weird in my mouth. The tooth had fallen out in my sleep without any pain, and it was just sitting there.
That night I ate corn on the cob with my dinner. And it was delicious.
