While staying at my aunt's house in Williamsport, she started looking through her things to see if there was anything that would interest me. I never would have guessed what she found.
She pulled out 2 things from a small box. You'll find out about the second thing tomorrow. Here's the first item she showed me:
These aren't just any dentures. These false teeth belong to my great-grandpa, Eugene Jerome Eck. This was apparently his first pair.
Why does my aunt have these teeth? She was a middle school health teacher and my great grandparents apparently passed things on to her that she might find interesting. Why she still has them is another story. But at least I got to see a part of my great grandfather decades after his death.
Just wait until you see what great-grandma left her.
I'm not sure if that's fascinating or just gross. But I sure can't imagine putting those in one's mouth. Ewww. Can't wait to see what great-grandma left!
ReplyDeleteI mean really...how could you throw something like that away? Gross or not...I'd have a hard time discarding my great grandfather's teeth. How many people saw him smile every day while sporting those choppers? Definitely a keeper in my opinion, LOL!
ReplyDeleteStrange and fascinating - this has to be a rarity among things people pass down to their descendants.
