Last weekend I acquired two new trinkets to adorn our cabinets.
Yes, those are teeth.
Yes, they are painted gold.
Weirded out? (Hubby totally was at first.) Let me explain.
Last Saturday I visited the dentist two cavities filled. These were my very first cavities ever, so I was nervous about what was going to happen. Before starting, the dentist used a mold of my teeth to help explain the procedure. As I listened, I couldn't stop staring at my molds. How could something look so creepy and interesting at the same time? I don't know what came over me, but I asked him if I could take my molds home. Surprisingly, he agreed to make another copy and give them to me.
So I brought them home and painted them gold.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
And when life gave me my first two cavities, I made myself some golden teeth.
