"it is all my fault," she cried. "my own fault, ma. i fell in a moment of weakness. then i just couldn't stop." my grandmother's shame turned to pity. "it's all right, gold teeth. perhaps it was this you needed to bring you back to your senses." that evening gold teeth ritually destroyed every reminder of christianity in the house.
