2 for 10

Boo had to go to the dentist the other day. You see, she's 13 and she's only lost 4 teeth. Yeah.. four! Her future orthodontist checks her teeth periodically so he'll know when she's ready for braces. We saw him a few weeks ago. She had some internal crowding.

So she had to have two teeth pulled. We did that Tuesday. Her dentist gives them their teeth in a teeny tiny treasure chest. My husband was asking me where the teeth were because he wanted to see them. Ya know.. the guy thing.. like looking at a train wreck. (well they were kinda cool because they still had the roots attached) I told him the little yellow chest was on our dresser. Yep.. our dresser.

My husband got a ten out to put under her pillow. I asked him why he wanted to put a TEN under there. He said it was either that or a 20. It was all he had. oh. I guess it's ten. He put it under her pillow while she was brushing her teeth. She found it. All over. I guess we just need to write her a check or something next time.

The pretense fun is all over!

That's a sweet story. I loved those little treasure chests. She scored on the tooth fairy this time!
