Yet another teaser post - also to be known as "All I want for Christmas are my six front teeth"

Amy tried to warn me. She tried to warn Katrina. We didn't listen. We went to look for wigs today and ended up going to the same place as Amy. She told us that the woman was a little...off. She tried to give us the heads up.

I'm not sure I have the words to describe how odd of an experience this was. We walked into the store and the woman was sitting on a lounge chair with her hand to her mouth. ...And ignoring us. Katrina finally mentioned that we were looking for a wig and all the woman did was nod her head and continue to fiddle with her mouth. Turns out she had a temporary top set of teeth placed the day before and she had just broken them by accident. If she didn't hold them in her mouth, they would fall out. Thats right, you all heard me. She had to talk with us while holding her teeth. And to top it all off she couldn't get them to sit right again, so everytime she smiled she looked like the Cheshire Cat. It was creepy. I think we went through three wigs before I even started to pay attention cause I was so creeped out by her teeth. (Shivers as she thinks about it) Not to mention everytime she called me sweetheart I was afraid her teeth would go flying across the room. She made an attempt to talk with out holding them, but not only did she sound funny, but they flopped around something aweful in her mouth. It was very disturbing to watch. When she did hold them in to talk she only used the tip of one of her very long nails and it looked like she was trying to pick something from between her teeth.
In the end we found a wig the matches my red hair perfectly. (Yes, for those who haven't seen me recently, I have red hair.) It's a little odd to wear it, but then again all of my experiences of it are tied up with the weird smile looking over my shoulder in the mirror. (Shivers yet again) The hardest part was looking at Katrina. The shear absurdity of the situation was impossible to ignore and we all know that my sense of the ridiculous is well tuned. I couldn't look at Katrina for more than a second before I wanted to burst out laughing. We spent, at least, a half hour after leaving the store just laughing and trying not look insane. We went to get some dinner and I swear the waiter thought we were nuts. I think we gave him a complex.
I will still have more of an update tonight, but I had to share the teeth story with you. It was just too good to pass up. - Elizabeth
