Grandma loses teeth when blowing out birthday candles


A 102-year-old woman was blowing out birthday cake candles when she put out more than the flames.

Louise Bonito's family was celebrating her birthday in North Haven, Conn., when she did something that caused her family to laugh uncontrollably, ABC News reported.

Lisa Addario, Bonito's granddaughter, told ABC that a handful of family members were gathered around Bonito singing Happy Birthday when she blew out the candles.

"Her teeth just flew out!" Addario said.

Bonito told ABC she was happy she could give her family a "good laugh."

"There's so many problems in this life and I'm so glad that with this there can be laughter," Bonito said.
