A Jaw-Dropping Discovery

I’m about four years old, staying overnight at my grandparents’ house. I watch my grandpa take out his dentures before bed.

Four-Year-Old Me: *Stares, stunned.*

I immediately start poking around inside my own mouth.

Mom: “Sweetie… what are you doing?”

Four-Year-Old Me: “I’m trying to take my teeth out like Grandpa!”

Mom: “What are you looking for?”

Four-Year-Old Me: “The button to make them come out!

Yup. Four-year-old me was searching for the “release button” that must let my teeth pop out.

My mom laughed and explained what dentures were. I stop searching, but I do not stop being disappointed.
