My poppa's prank

I'd sit on his lap, content as can be, until he'd slide those dentures out and giggle with glee.. My two year old self would reach out to grab, he'd suck them back in before I could nab.. With time as I began to age his talented teeth ceased to amaze. No longer two and as wide-eyed, I'd yell "stupid Poppa" and from his lap slide..

Great poem Nancy. Loved this. It's amazing how little ones can be so fascinated by false teeth!

Dear Nancy, your nostalgic poem about your poppa's denture trick is a wonderful delight! I think I really loved the playful back-and-forth between you as a giggly toddler and your mischievous grandpa. What a wonderful, whimsical childhood memory. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
