His tooth had been hanging by a thread for weeks, but he wouldn't wiggle it, and most definitely wouldn't let me touch it. He wanted to get a "treasure chest" from the school office (a cheap plastic container given to kids that lose a tooth at school). On Thursday, I told him that he'd better lose that tooth at school that day, or he'd probably miss his chance since he had a four-day weekend ahead and no way was that tooth going to hang on that long. So when I went to pick him up, the tooth was still in his mouth. I asked him if he wanted me to give it a yank. He consented. I gave it a yank, but I didn't get it out before he backed away from me. Then Mrs. McDonald said to let her give it a try, she gave it a little twist, and out came the tooth. And Joshy got his treasure chest.
