When my cousin was three years old, we (my dad, sister, and I) convinced her that her nose became loose and fell of as baby teeth would. My sister (age 7) said that she already got her "grown-up" nose, and demonstrated by trying to move it back and forth. She purposely make it seem as if it didn't move. Then I (age 4) said that my nose was getting loose, and wiggled it a little. My cousin couldn't wait to get her "grown-up" nose.
