Toothy Grin

A few weeks ago Hippie Chick and her kids came over.

I met 'em all at the door...
with a great big happy smile...

and with my big front tooth all blackened out!

Now, don't get the wrong idea here, there were no accidents like tripping up the stairs, falling into the car, walking into walls, tripping on smooth pavement or slipping on a banana peel...those are my usual kinds of clumsinesses, but not this time...

nothing like that at all.

It was simply a thick black felt pen - a washable one mind you -
that I used to color in my big front tooth!

I heard them pull in the driveway, so I hurried to blacken my tooth, and then had to smile with my lips real high so that I wouldn't erase the felt -until they got to the door.  Here's pictures of their reactions:

I'm just happy to be here...I don't care what you look like!

Uh...it's not Halloween just yet is it?

Something funny is going on 'round here.

What the hay-ell is wrong with you?!

Hey, at least I didn't meet 'em at the door with a two by four!
