Nov. 3, 2009 - Jacob's First Tooth
Jacob lost his first tooth today! I was in the family room, reading with the girls when he came running up the stairs, shouting, "Mom, my tooth came out!"
I took him into the bathroom to rinse out his mouth and asked him if he had pulled the tooth out. He shook his head no. I asked him if the tooth had just fallen out. He shook his head no. I asked him how the tooth came out and he answered, "Joel."
Now, my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked him if Joel had pulled out his tooth. He shook his head no. "Did Joel hit you or something and make the tooth come out?" Not an unlikely scenario, as anyone who has sons can tell you. He shook his head no. Okay - then, "How did you're tooth come out?"
I wasn't expecting the answer I got. I should have been. After all, we all know that truth is stranger than fiction.
Apparently, they were playing and Jacob had Joel's shirt in his mouth. He was gripping it with his teeth, most likely so that Joel couldn't get away. Or Jacob was just doing it to annoy Joel. Either story is completely plausible. Joel quickly jerked away to try and release himself, when...POP! Jacob's tooth flew across the room!
Only these two! They crack me up!
I could say that this was one of our more peculiar days...but we all know that wouldn't be the truth. This was just another ordinary day in the lives of these peculiar people I call my family.
I love them...peculiarities and all.
