Pigpen’s tooth

Pigpen lost his first tooth this morning!

In the interest of fair disclosure, MastaG comes home with pulled teeth like some kids come home with, I dunno, snails or something.  I’m convinced he pulls other kids teeth at school, because I could swear that the tooth fairy has visited the boy like 75 times or so.  He’s always been one just to pull the thing out before he ever mentions (or I ever realize) its loose.

Pigpen showed a bit more hesitancy this morning.  The tooth was 31 flavors of loose, and he was wiggling it with his tongue, but he just didn’t have it in him to go for the kill.  I soothed him as I was trying to pull the damn thing out, but I’m lousy at pulling teeth, so I gave it a big heave, and nothing happened.  Pigpen reached in, and I watched the worry on his face transform into pure 5 yr old excitement as he came back out with the tooth.

    Your baby is on his way! Good job Pigpen!

    … and without even devising any Rube Goldberg means of pulling teeth. That was always the fun part for me (a string tied to the tooth and to the dog, followed by a thrown tennis ball, was a good one).

    That one looks like it’s worth a lot! First tooth bravery blood = maximum toothy value.

    So how much does the tooth fairy give for a tooth these days?

    Congrats to your little man. It’s nice and bloody so he should get maximum tooth fairy compensation!!

    I believe that’s the same one Isabella lost first.

    PS:You should put a gore warning up for those of us who are faint of stomach!!

    (And to think my mom wanted me to be a doctor.)

    When I saw the blood and what looked like a tooth I almost barfed. Broken, loose and busted teeth just don’t do it for me.

    Good Job Pigpen. So with the girls thing — you are supposed to like them, then in a few years hate them, and then like them again in Junior High/High School. Don’t worry, it is all driven by peer pressure and hormones and the establishment. Pulling your own teeth out is just the first step.
