Gold Tooth Magnet

Don’t Smile For Me Daddy.

Yes, we live in America where we can do almost anything, but that doesn’t mean we should do everything. When I lived in AL, I was constantly approached by guys with Gold teeth in their mouths. I never understood the popularity of this trend. Hey to each his own, but don’t get mad at me if I politely decline your advances, because I don’t want to get metal poisoning.
One time a while back, I was approached by a guy who said “Yo shawty, what’s yo name is, are those yo real eyes." and then he smiled and I was blinded by his smile, not because his teeth were pearly white *y'all, but because he had gold teeth that filled his whole mouth. Maybe it is just me, but I am one of the rare individuals that think that gold belongs on things like necklaces, rings, etc. -just not in the mouth. So instead of being rude and saying "My name is Pepper spray." I politely said “Hi, my name is Felicia. What is your name?” Then he started stuttering, because from past experiences, correct English and politeness seemed to have the same effect on men with gold teeth that Raid had on roaches. “Oh you a educated red bone I probably ain’t yo type-my bad, you probably think you too good for me anyway.” I then looked, or at least tried to look him in his eyes, but the glare from the sun on his teeth prevented me from doing that. I looked at him and said “You want to know what my type is? I like a man who loves the lord, who loves himself, I like white teeth, and I don’t like to see your underwear if I don’t know you.” He angrily got back in his car that had the superman logo painted on the hood, and proceeded to drive off while blasting a derogatory song that called women out of their names. I had numerous other similar incidents like this and usually the reaction was the same. That’s when I begin to ask the question; “Am I a gold tooth magnet?” Do I look like I need some bling in my life? If so then could someone please tell me on how to get rid of it?


Be Blessed *Y'all.
