when i was little i thought that if you eat many sweeties, one day you can take your teeth out... just like false teeth.
as a matter of fact i used to believe that dentures were not false at all but that once you get old your gums get loose to the point that you can take them out.
i didn't like to brush my teeth and thought it would be easier that way.
