The Teeth Incident

There are many mysteries in this world: the Bermuda Triangle, Crop Circles, Milind Hegde, Stonehenge... But one of the foremost, that has astounded humankind for, well, millenia, is the fact that HB's teeth seemed to be bigger than his shoes. And the same colour.
As a class, we became aware of this the moment if uttered those fateful words that would never be forgotten, "This. Is. DEEKSHA! " (Try imagining a Spartan. Not the living kind.)
But time passed, and we, humane souls that we are, overlooked this act of Doug, (or God. I'm never really sure.) and began focusing on the rest of his infinite wrongnesseseses, the least of which being his hygiene.
Until...
As soon as he walked in, bad comb-over blatant as ever, whispers ran around the classroom. (The word 'ran' used in the most fragile sense of the word.) Something was different. Speculations arose. Was it his hair? Were his arms that long yesterday? Is it us?
Until suddenly, there was one of those sudden unified epiphanies that you only hear about in Stephen King novels: Teeth.
Like the protagonist of the great ancient epic, Hermione Granger, HB had taken the first step to sainthood. Change of physical appearance.
His front two teeth were SMALLER. Were they filed? Cut in half? Or are they new teeth entirely? We could only guess. But the fact that they were now a mere shadow of their old selves, was belittling enough.
Whether this was achieved, as the witch, by magic, or by the littler known magician, Dr. Lessor More, GOK. Perhaps Satan herself was the source of his liberation.
But all we knew, was that from that point on, everything changed.
