Oh my, such drama. hee hee. This reminded me of our youngest son’s first tooth loss. It required pliers, just because those little teeth are slippery. But he settled down once Daddy got a hold of him.

FD – you da man!!

Can you rent him out? My 10 yr old has managed to get out of a 3 person pile on with no luck.

I am laughing out loud and told RockyDaddy that he needs to read this post. It could SO be our family, just switch the characters (except that you are a far superior writer). You write so well that you make me laugh at you and ourselves! (RockyA has a little treasure box full of about 5 teeth. She won’t part with them either. And each tooth was a dramatic event).

My youngest will yank out a perfectly good tooth for a dollar. Sometimes she brings me one and I have to ask her if it was loose.
It was, but at the first wiggle, she works it until it comes free.
One time I thought there was still root left on one. The dentist assures me she could not pull out a healthy tooth, but she doesn’t really know how strong willed my daughter is, either.
Now that I think about it, maybe we just need to up her allowance.

Nahh…

“Like a vulture, perched atop a street light, waiting for something to die, so our intrepid Toothfairy has been once again hovering over Cailey.”

You’ve written some mighty clever (read interchangeably: snort-inducing-hysterical) things on your blog, but this, in my humble opinion, is second only to your title, “Thanks Be to the Lard.”

Thank you. Oh, sweet laughter, thank you!

Best line of the post, hands down: “Like I would brave a trip to the top bunk, only to be thrown off to my death by a sleeping child with a thirst for violence.” Hilarious!

Worst thing that happened for us was when my daughter lost a tooth whilst I was out of town and the the male version of the tooth fairy forgot to do his thing. Dear daughter was ever-so-surprised to find her tooth still there the next morning and NO CASH. Someone will NEVER live that down.

Reminds me of when our youngest needed blood drawn repeatedly and developed a fear of it. The lab technicians at our local clinic actually refused to take blood before his surgery because he was so upset. Once we got to the children’s hospital, the technicians matter-of-factly ignored the screaming and flailing, held him down and got it done in a flash. He was as relieved as I was when it was over.

My first grade class lost a total of 64 teeth during the past school year. We played that drama out over and over and over! (And the day Scott lost BOTH his front teeth in one day? Shut the class down for the entire afternoon.) Well done, Fiddledaddy!
