My Baby Tooth Fell Out

I lost my front tooth at the tender age of 81, yesterday.

I guess I was always slow at doing things. LOL!

My 57-year-old daughter belly laughs whenever I come into view.

She teases me with “Mom you look like a bad kid from “Our Gang” … just after a fight”.

My other daughter, and her boyfriend, in Florida insist I send them a photo of the toothless me.

They want a good laugh, too.

I never realized how big my front tooth was…till it broke &fell out.

It left a hole in my smile you could run the subway train thru.

Woe, woe is me!

I must be jinxed…every time I have an emergency, and am in need of a doctor or dentist, it's a holiday, damn it!

Next holiday I’m hiding under the covers!
