     Childrens imagination is a source of great wonder, seeing the things that adults, not all, sometimes disengage from, loose.

'Another one of those boring days.' Jimmy muttered to himself, he wanted to be heard but dare not say it too loud, he might get a clip around the ears.

It is not that he does not like Gran, she is a nice old lady, but she moves her false teeth around her mouth and it turns Jimmy off the sandwiches. His Mum tells he to not look, but how can you not look at something so odd as teeth that move around your mouth.

Anyway, like it or not, thats where they are heading, dear old Granny Maud.

So it was, the day almost passed without Gran moving her teeth, while Jimmy stuffed in as many sandwiches as he could before it happened. Then he noticed, in shocked disbelief, she had no teeth, she was gummy!

For a moment he was mesmerized, unable to tear his eyes away. Thoughts ran through his head like a fast action movie, 'Wheres her teeth?'

It was then Gran asked Jimmy if he would like a drink of juice, she told him she had bought his favourite, Apple & Mango. 'Yes please!' he replied, he loves that juice. Gran called out to Jimmy's Mum, 'Pour Jimmy some juice Anna, dont use the mug on the drainer, it has my teeth soaking in it.'

Jimmy's face was frozen in horror, as his Mum bought the the mug of juice in. 'I knew you would love that.' his Gran said as he stared into the mug of juice. 'Its even got bits of fruit in it.' she ads.

'Drink up.'

Curiosity got the boy this time. I'll bet he enjoyed that juice with thoughts of Gram's teeth in it.

So, Jimmy's mom must have used another mug, eh? Perish the thought!
