The After-Trauma of Loosing Two Teeth in One Night

If you haven't read yesterday's blog, PLEASE, stop reading this a moment to read THIS.


Okay, you are caught up. But just to remind you.....

S4 realized he had a loose tooth.....


He was not happy about this. He really felt all his teeth should stay in his mouth for forever.
And ever.

So, Moma read him a book called My Wobbly Tooth Must Not Ever Never Fall Out by Lauren Child.


The book helped calm his nerves and brought some joy at the thought of getting money - but this lasted only momentarily BECAUSE his Daddy and brothers were thinking of all sorts of ways to yank his tooth out.

Moma pulled it out.

And then told him ice cream would make him all better.

But when eating ice cream, ANOTHER tooth fell out.

But then he remembered the tooth fairy.

And realized it felt pretty cool when his tongue hit the missing tooth spot. Well, if he didn't taste any blood.

And there was that ice cream he got. With chocolate sauce.

So since he had tissues to stop the bleeding, life wasn't so terrible after all.


And he was super happy to have the promise of DOUBLE money from the tooth fairy.

He even let Moma take ANOTHER video of him explaining about his lost teeth.



And at night he made sure he put his teeth in the very middle of the under belly of his pillow pet in hopes that the tooth fairy wouldn't mind that he didn't have a pillow.

In the morning, he woke up to find....

Two Golden Dollars.

The tooth fairy totally rocked in his book.

But the best part, the VERY best part, was that the tooth fairy LEFT THE TEETH BEHIND.

This, he felt, was sheer brilliance. Because, as you may have now guessed, he could put his teeth under his pillow AGAIN and get two MORE golden dollars.

The tooth fairy didn't fall for it though.

And I really truly hope that he doesn't get another loose tooth for a very very very long time.
