Wayside School is Falling Down “Teeth”-“Wayside School Is Falling Down” Summary & Analysis

“Teeth” Summary

Rhondi’s two front teeth finally grow in, and she is worried that people will no longer think she is cute. At recess, she confides in Louis, who reassures her that she is still cute. She tells him that his opinion doesn’t count because he thinks that everyone is cute. She asks him to kick her two front teeth in, but he refuses. Angry, she hides in some bushes so that no one will see her teeth. When students complain to Louis that Terrance has stolen their ball, Louis suggests that Rhondi be the one to retrieve it. Realizing that Louis is giving her an opportunity to get her teeth punched out, Rhondi confronts Terrance. She trades insults with him, which surprises him because he is used to intimidating people. Just as Terrance gets ready to punch Rhondi, however, Rhondi hears other students complimenting her new teeth. The students hold a quick vote and decide that Rhondi is even cuter now that her teeth have grown in. At the last second, Rhondi ducks Terrance’s punch and saves her new teeth.
