I believed that you could pull your teeth out and put them back in because my me-maw (grandma) used to do it all the time to clean her false teeth. She would tell me that I could do it too. I believed her from when I was around 4 untill I was about 7. So I ended up spending hours in the bathroom trying to pull my teeth out.
