When I hear myself laugh

When I hear myself laugh, I'm pleasantly reminded of my mom. I sound just like her. But when I smile, I somehow, sometimes think of Whoopi.Looking at her and me, at our mouths, and cheeks,

can you (even a little) see why? The deep dark secret is that I have what the dentist calls an over bite i.e. rabbits-teeth. And from Whoopi, I've learnt how to conceal it while being photographed.

Find the tooth pick

Seeing this, I'm mysteriously reminded of a game my dad and I played, many, many years ago: “Find the tooth pick in dad's mouth”.  Using all the focus and thinking a 2-3 year old could muster and one hand, just like the adorable, 8 months old Cooper Wall Wagner is doing in this photo, I tried to find the tooth pick my dad made to magically disappear in his mouth. As I recall, I never could find it without his help…a little gross…I know. Maybe that’s why I still have some recall of it.
