When I was eight, my papa got a pair of dentures. Only, I didn't know they were false teeth. After popping them out at me I excitedly asked him how he did that. He told me it took lots of practice.
When I became a teenager a man from church popped his teeth out at us and I immediately exclaimed, "How did you do that?!?! I have been practicing for years!"
