New variation on a recurring nightmare

Grown up, somewhere in Asia maybe, when the teeth start feeling loose. Unpacking when the first one falls out. Suddenly I'm a child again. My mom is there. I look outside the window at trees and it's beautiful. A tooth falls out and I want to cry. I look in the mirror and for the first time realize how far gone I am. Maybe six left on the bottom, four on the top. It's an emergency. I start to panic and ask my mom to call the dentist right away. I don't want dentures. Maybe I can get implants.

When I wake up, I run to the bathroom. It seemed so real. But there they all are when I look in the mirror, my teeth.

Your mom wouldn't let you lose our teeth like this. Or at all actually.

Love you, Mom
