When I was about 9, my Grandma was living with us. She had dentures, but I had no idea. One night I was getting ready for bed and found teeth in a glass in my bathroom. I ran frantic into my mom's room telling her that someone's teeth were in my bathroom. She told me they were Grandma's, but I didn't believe her. When we went to say goodnight to her, I kept trying to get her to talk so I could look in her mouth. I was completely amazed when she did open her mouth, there were no teeth in there. I was scared.
