Oldie but goody


*I tried to find a picture that shows my ginormous teeth to their fullest extent, but couldn't uncover any that do them justice, so I just settled for this one.

I transferred a few old posts of mine from Shutterfly that I'll "re-run" when I'm too busy to write an original.

Here's one of them:

Tall-Toothed Types


August 31, 2008

"Miss, them are some big ole teeth you got!" That is what a student said to me last week. Seriously. I didn't know quite how to respond, but then again it is not the first time a student has commented on my (evidently) over-sized chompers.

Even my own daughter asked me, in a very worried voice, I might add, "Mommy, will my teeth be as big as yours when I grow up?" Since I could tell she hoped the answer was no, I could have pacified her with a fib. But that's not how I roll.

I told her since her mom and dad both have crazy-big teeth, that she would more than likely have them, too. I did soften the blow, however, by pointing out that at least we're not of the big-bootied breed.

I'm thinking I should start getting a complex about my tall teeth, but refuse to do it.
