The narrator recalls their mother using disturbing methods to help their baby teeth fall out more quickly as a child, including using a metal spoon to repeatedly wiggle loose teeth until they came out, which caused the narrator a lot of pain and crying. Over time, the narrator learned not to let their mother help remove teeth and instead removed their last loose tooth themselves without pain by sneezing.

I think all my bad childhood experiences are based on me
falling in different ways, so I'll choose one where the outcome isn't me on the ground jaja. This experience involves a repetition of the same situation, at different times. Remembering the time when my baby teeth fell out is very disturbing, because my mother used very grotesque methods to accelerate the loss process. I have always been very nervous, and in childhood I had a much lower pain threshold than now, and since we have a lot of nerves in the mouth, it goes without saying that I was very crybaby when my teeth fell out. So, my mom told me “come on, I'll take it out so it hurts less,” and well, the first times I believed her. I sat in front of her and she told me “show me, I'm just going to touch it for you to see how loose it is.” I opened my mouth, she grabbed a metal spoon and the part where the spoon is held, she put it between tooth and tooth, I moved it in a way to separate them and make the loose tooth looser more, I did that movement many times until that the tooth came out. I don't know what it was more, my crying or the blood coming out of my mouth, but there came a point where I hid the spoons so that when a tooth became loose the same thing wouldn't happen. But hey, as you grow up the naiveness disappears jaja, so the story ends with the last tooth... yes, until the last tooth fell out I learned my lesson, I told him that I would take care of removing it myself, but she had had a loose tooth for a long time so there was one day when she told me “if you pull that tooth out today, I will make you Maizena.” And well, I think my body wanted that a lot because, approximately an hour after she told me that, I sneezed and put my hand in my mouth, when I took my hand away, the tooth was there, I didn't even feel when it happened.
