Flying Teeth, Maccaroni, & EarWax

Tonight, Dv decided it was time to pull out the loose tooth he'd been harboring. It was a front bottom one on the left. :) We talked about putting a string on the tooth and attaching it to the door, then slamming the door. I'm not sure if he thought that this was too commonplace, or just what, but he decided he wanted something little more exciting. What could be more exciting then the old string on the tooth and slamming the door trick?

Well. He decided to attach the string to a ball, then the string to his tooth. But that's not all. Then he went to the top of the steps and Nana threw the ball down the steps! The first time, it didn't work. The string came off his tooth!

Then, after MUCH convincing and cajoling, they tried it again with smashing success! The tooth went flying one direction (no one saw which way, though!) and the ball went bounce bounce bounce down the steps, only to run into the wall at the bottom of the steps! Then, after the ball hit and things quieted down, Dv let out a HUGE wail of a wail and squealed at the site of the blood on his hand after he checked the new hole in his mouth.

Nana took him to the bathroom and had him rinse and spit, then rinse and spit with salt water. Of course, all of the commotion afterward, was so loud and went on for so long, that when they went back to look for the tooth, no one could find it. All I can say is, it's a good thing that the tooth fairy gives extra special bonuses for being brave - even if you can't find the lost tooth.

After that big episode, we're having macaroni and ear wax with a side of squish and squash for dinner. And, of course, we added a sprinkling of mummy dust to the squish and squash, so it tastes GREAT. :)

Stay tuned for more living in 2D!
