Sign of a Good Party: Finding People’s Teeth!
The day after our big party, I stepped on something very sharp with my bare feet. It’s odd that this would happen to me at all, because I NEVER am without shoes, from the time I get up until the time I go to bed – I have back issues and my back hurts like hell if I walk around barefoot for more than a few minutes. But, as luck would have it, I ran downstairs in my jammies and bare feet, to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer – and, OUCH – stepped on something sharp. That something sharp was A HUMAN TOOTH, OH MY GOD! It was embedded in the rug in my laundry room, which is right in front of the door that goes to our garage.
Someone LOST A TOOTH at our party. What is the story here?? Did someone do a drunken faceplant into my dryer door? I can’t even imagine how this happened. Who does it belong to? How did they lose it? And why didn’t they say anything? What went ON that I don’t know about??
I immediately looked in the mirror at my own teeth, and then felt stupid, like it would be possible for me to break off half a tooth and not notice. Then I checked all my kids’ mouths, and they weren’t short any teeth that haven’t already been accounted for. Soooo…what now? Should I keep it for good luck? Stick it under my pillow and see what happens? ::shudder::
Is this your tooth? If it is, PLEASE fess up and let us know what happened – we are dying to know!!

That is just the oddest thing. And how do you not know. Or if they did know did they just spit it onto the floor and think oh well, it’s just a tooth… hand me another tootles.

lol the same thing happened at a party at our house for John’s bday in April, I would highly doubt it’s the same person but then again you never know!

You know it kinda looks like a tooth that has been extracted. That would be a little odd if someone had been at the party carrying their pulled tooth in their pocket though… has the ‘tooth fairy’ kept any teeth that kids might have gotten into? I remember when I was a kid and I found the teeth drawer in my mom’s room.

It doesn’t belong to any of my rugrats – only one of them has lost a tooth, and I have it on good account that the tooth fairy has it safely in her possession!
