00:10 When I was little, I had three younger brothers that I would babysit a lot,

00:14 and when my parents were away, if we'd sneak back in the cupboard

00:18 and take a bite out of a candy bar or any other forbidden cookies or cakes or whatever,

00:26 my parents always knew when I had done it, and I thought they were so magic and all-knowing

00:32 until I caught on that they were recognizing my signature, which was my teeth marks, on the food.

01:13 Your mom was saying you're the third generation with a gap?

01:16 I guess so. I think her mother had it, and she had it. She had braces when she was younger.

01:21 My father has a gap about as wide as mine is. My mom has a gap that's a little smaller.

01:29 Everybody in my family has it, the women in my family.

01:32 People think somehow that there's a mystique about Asian women, Hawaiian women, Korean women, Japanese women,

01:38 and I'm just wondering if people don't think there's some mystique about gap-teeth women.

01:43 I read somewhere in a folklore book, and I really feel stupid saying this,

01:47 that gap-teeth women are supposed to be sexier. It's like this mound of Venus stuff.

01:51 If you have a big, thick mound of Venus, you're supposed to be real hot stuff or something,

01:55 and I guess it's the same thing with gap-teeth.

02:21 How do you feel about your daughter having a gap?

02:23 I think it's great. I didn't used to think it was great when I was a child

02:27 because I was always compared to monkeys and howdy-doody and everything like that,

02:32 but after Lauren Hutton, she's just been a big inspiration just for her gaps in her teeth.

02:37 To me, she's changed my way of thinking and the way I feel about myself. I feel a lot better.

02:43 My girlfriend one day came up and she goes, "Look at this in Vogue magazine.

02:46 Here's Lauren Hutton. She's got this big gap in her teeth. You don't have to get yours fixed anymore."

02:50 Hi, we're looking for gaps. Anybody have one?

02:53 No, see? Everybody's straight here. No gaps.

02:59 It is. It's a sex picture.

03:01 Take care. Bye.

03:04 Yes, thank you. One spittin'. Good. Boy, you watch.

03:08 Watch it. Thanks.

03:12 Watch it. Horses are going to get you guys.

03:15 You guys got gap teeth? Anybody?

03:18 Hey, gap-toother, show them.

03:21 A gap. A cap. I had to have it fixed.

03:25 A gap. A cap, not a gap.
