Yesterday I went down an picked up my Utah fruit order before Oliver got home from school. We LOVE fruit here at Truschke central, so I ordered half a case of some Galas, half a case of Pears and a whole case of Peaches. Mmmmmm. I love that stuff. Well Oliver was so excited when he got home and saw 3 boxes of fruit! He asked if he could have an apple and I said yes. Then he started telling me a story about one of his friends eating an apple and it making their tooth come out. As soon as he was done with his tale he said, "I think my tooth is loose!" I gave it a wiggle and said I thought it had a couple more days and to bite his apple on the other side if it bothered him. He left the room and cam squealing back in 30 seconds later with his tooth.
I was amazed at how fast it fell out. It seems like it took weeks of wiggling to get that 1st tooth out. So I told him to just bite his apple on the other side. So he did but he came to me 2 minutes later and said his other tooth was loose. I of course thought the tooth needed a few more days of wiggling so I sent him away again and not 10 seconds later he came squealing back to me with yet another tooth!
Seriously, he pulled out two teeth in less than 10 minutes! I was amazed. Then he said he hoped the Tooth Fairy would bring him $120. I told him she couldn't possible carry that much $$ for every kid and is teeth aren't worth that anyway. $2 a tooth is the going rate so he shouldn't try to rip her off or she might stop coming. So this is my little Goobers mouth now. He said he feels like a "Reverse Vampire", cute huh? Jarred saw him after work and said how he hoped they grow in fast. Ditto!
Oliver was happy with the $4 he got especially since good portion of it was in coins. He insisted that it was $65, but I made him count it a little better. I in NO way wanted him to show up to school bragging about the $65 he got for his 2 teeth. If any teacher heard they might expect me to donate more time and money to the school than I already do.
And so begins the "Awkward Toothy" stage of Oliver's life. Nice....
The Job At Hand

3 people were neglecting their kids:
Ha ha, I love the "reverse vampire" comment. That is way too cute!
Ansley just lost her 6th tooth yesterday. Her top teeth are finally growing in. They are about halfway in. She has the same missing as Oliver now. And yes, it is oh so awkward! I am wondering how big the top ones will look when they are all the way down.
Aren't kids so fun!! Tyson can't wait for the tooth fairy since brianna has lost 7 teeth now. Awww to be so innocent.
