The Tooth Fairy's Going to Go Broke at Our House!

The Tooth Fairy will be busy tonight.

Poor Big Boy #1. The orthodontist recommended that he have two baby teeth pulled to create room for some permanent teeth that were coming in. Today was the day and (with the help of some laughing gas,) BB#1 bravely endured having his two teeth extracted.

He's been feeling kinda crummy all day - but is looking forward the the Tooth Fairy's arrival tonight.

--- Cut to Big Boy #2 ---

His top front tooth has been loose for some time now. But in the name of "If BB#1's doing it (whatever IT is,) I want in!" spent the better part of a half-hour in the bathroom wiggling, prying and pulling on his loose tooth until he emerged with a brand new smile:


Of course there is a financial element to all this. BB#1 is hoping for extra money since the teeth had to be pulled, and BB#2 was overheard saying: "I wonder if I can save this tooth for when I'm poor, then I'll just put in under my pillow and *BAM* I'll have some money!"

Although #2 was proud of his missing tooth, he also said that he didn't feel so great. That it hurt to pull out that tooth. A lot. And that his knees were shaking from what he had done.

SERIOUSLY??? WHY did you pull out your tooth then???

I am starting to wonder if he might literally jump off a bridge, just 'cause BB#1 did. Oh wait. Yeah. He did that. Last summer.

Kid logic is the best! I can't believe he kept pulling through all that pain! Good Luck tonight! You will have to let us know if the Tooth Fairy leaves more money for having the dentist pull them with laughing gas, or for 30 minutes of self inflicted torture?

oh poor BB#1. He doesn't look to chipper in that picture. So is he going to get extra money from the tooth fairy?
