To Tell the Tooth

Once upon a time there was a person who was warned eir tooth had died and that ey should have it removed. This person didn't want to have the dental procedure performed, instead choosing to let the tooth stay in eir mouth indefinitely. Of course, dead teeth don't just cooperatively hang out in one's mouth. Nope, at some point that tooth lets go, which is exactly what happened to this person while eating a sandwich. After taking a bite, something just felt wrong in eir mouth, and ey realized that that dead front tooth was now implanted in the bread. While ey freaked out, the individual's child came in, saw the sandwich, and, figuring ey was no longer able to eat anyway, started eating around the tooth.
