Shortly after surgery Sylvia’s mom was transferred to a nursing home for therapy. Since she was on a lot of pain medication Sylvia went along to answer any questions that might be difficult for her to answer in her drug-induced state.

To her amazement Sylvia’s mom was answering all the questions the home’s doctor’s asked clear and concisely. Then he asked if she still had any teeth. She replied “every one of them.”

Before Sylvia could say anything the doctor, obviously impressed, asked if he could see them.  Grinning a big toothless grin she said; “They’re at home in their case on top of the toilet tank.”
