Loose Tooth Whisperer

This morning as Samantha is getting ready for school she comes to me and tells me her tooth is bleeding.  She opens her mouth and sure enough...one of her loose teeth is really hanging and in desperate need of being pulled.  I know that she can't go to school like this.  It needs to be pulled, NOW!  I share the news with Samantha and she asks, "Mom, have you ever done this before?"  Reluctantly, I tell her that I haven't.  The pulling of teeth makes me feel sick to my stomach.  And, now I have to be the one to pull it!  She then says exactly what I was thinking, "Mom, I really wish Grandpa was here!"  Me too, kiddo!!!  Grandpa Sillman loves pulling the kids' teeth when they are flipping in the wind.  He is the Loose Tooth Whisperer!
We both took a deep breath and I plucked it right out.  I think we were both surprised at how simple it was.  However, it is something that I will never enjoy and I am going to desperately try to time our Nebraska visits around these loose teeth pullings. :)
