My little girl calls me regularly
the day before her front tooth had falle
she would report each and every episode daily
I should have listened to her passively
instead questioned her as how she looks now
should have stopped at that juncture
nay I did not refrain all the way
asked her with a mischievous twinkle
how she looks with a big gap in front
“do you look better or worse?”
her sharp reply startled me wholly
said she it is not better or worse as such
looks different as much .
