All I want for Christmas is my left front tooth!
"Mom, can I get those chocolates?" I said with a hungry look on my face.
"Yup, just hurry up please, we're next". I started running towards the shelf that had those delicious, gold wrapped chocolate coins on them.

It was a disgusting feeling because it was as though I had sand paper stuck in my mouth. It took a couple of days before I was able to get it "fixed".
