"I used to go inside my head and play." And Sara would answer with a poor, vindictive satisfaction, "There's nothing in my head to play with!" And her kind-hearted mother would snip off her thread and say gently, in a tone of polite regret, "Poor little girl!" Then Sara would gnash the little milk-teeth of her mind and have awful thoughts.

First, it marks the period of second dentition or the time when the milk-teeth are "shed" and the new and permanent teeth take their place. This is a critical period and statistics show that there is a marked increase in speech disorders at this time. The second event of importance, both to child and to parents, is the beginning of the work in school.
Harris said that his sort of lapse is to be found in every copy of every newspaper that has ever been printed in English, and in almost all of our books. He said he had observed it in Kirkham's grammar and in Macaulay. Harris believed that milk-teeth are commoner in men's mouths than those "doubled-up haves." That changed the subject to dentistry.
Months later, when the colt had learned to balance himself on the spindly legs, the old sorrel led him proudly about the pasture, showing him tufts of sweet new spring grass, and taking him to the brook, where were tender and juicy cowslips, finely suited to milk-teeth.
