What would you do if you grew up without a smile? I would be so sad, and upset. No one would even know if it were so either. If I cried people would think I was just either sad, or overjoyed. What if I were in pain? If I had no mouth, I would not have a tongue, so speaking aloud would be extremely difficult. I would not be able to laugh, or scream or whisper or sing. I wouldn't be able to kiss, or reassure anyone that everything would be okay. If I had no mouth, I would look funny as well, cause everyone would know something was missing. And frankly, I wouldn't be able to eat either. So none of this much matters, for I would be dead. I never really realized how important my mouth is to me- it makes me glad I treat it well with proper oral hygiene and an occasional floss as a nice treat. Oh little mouth, you are underestimated but so powerful. Thank you mouth, lips, tongue and teeth, thanks to you too.

...and now I will treat you by eating pie.
