Peer pressure
- Capucine : Mom, come here, you're not going to believe this !
- Me : What ?
- Capucine : Look, my tooth ! It's moving !
- Me, checking : Uuummm..I don't think so.
- Capucine : Yes it IS !
- Me : No, Capucine, I'm sorry but it's not.
- Capucine, bursting into tears : But ! I'm the ONLY one in my class who hasn't lost a tooth ! This is NOT NORMAL ! My friends tell me this is NOT NORMAL ! I want to lose a tooth ! RIGHT NOW ! I want to be like EVERYBODY ELSE !!
- Me : Listen, you will lose a tooth but I can't tell you when. Until then, think that you have a much prettier smile than all your friends at school.
- Capucine : But...But... It doesn't matter if I have a tooth missing ! I will keep my mouth SHUT like this and it won't SHOW !
