When i was a younin i used to think that because my cousin had a false tooth (it got knocked out somhow and he's only 2 years older then me), both my parents have false teeth and the thought that all old people had false teeth, i thought i was doomed to a life of having false teeth. I thought that any day now all my teeth would fall out and i'd have to spend the rest of my life with false ones.
