Tooth

Benny's fourth tooth came out as we were changing into our clothes after his swimming lesson this morning. He was determined I would not pull it out (OOOO -- I wanted to!) so it was hanging by the proverbial thread. Then he ate a cheese cracker and it fell out in his mouth -- trauma! Ah, son, this is just what I warned you about! He retrieved it from under his tongue however, while narrating in hushed tones. He carried it carefully all the way home, telling everyone within hearing that he'd just lost a tooth, "THIS VERY MINUTE!"
