He lost a tooth



Joseph came to me the other day, shouting "I know what tooth I will lose first!" He went on to show me his loose tooth. I must say, I was slightly emotional. I showed him how to work on it, to get it loose enough to pull. Then we talked about methods of pulling teeth. I told him of the time I pulled his Uncle Tim's tooth out with a string tied to the door. Later that week, the tooth was about to come out. I went to pull it and he declared that the tooth must go the way Tim's went. Today was the big day! We had the whole family help. I tied the string to the tooth, Noah opened the door and David filmed. After a few failed attempts, David just yanked the string sending the tooth down the hallway. It was an adventure and I can't wait to come up with other ways to get the rest of his teeth out. I wonder how much money he'll get?? He hopes it's worth $100.

I'm looking for some more creative ways to pull his teeth. Please, send me your ideas. We'll film his next tooth being pulled using the best method suggested. It won't be too long from now, there are plenty of other teeth wiggling around in his mouth.

What do your kids do for fun?

Oooh, that's nice. Your kids read to each other, talk about horses and play house. How sweet!

You want to know what my kids do for fun??

Umm, well. Let me go check on them and see what they're up to right now.


My kids put layers of clothes on their bodies and then see how many pairs of underwear they can get on their head. Do you want to send your kids over for a play date??
