tooth pulling time...





I have heard the saying "pulling out my hair" but I don't often hear my friends say much about:
I've been pulling out my grandchildren's teeth"

but the last time the grandkids were together --I ended up pulling one for Mayley and one for Adriana (she prefers to go by her full name now--for those of the family that didn't get that memo)

before now -I don't believe we have taken any pictures of me actually pulling a tooth-but -good for Nancy to suceed in capturing the moment-in the following pics and good for the grandkids to be brave enough to let grandma --pull their loose teeth

it really boils down to me playing a game that my dad used to play when we finally were going crazy with a loose tooth--he would try to pull a solid (not loose tooth) and say ..."is it this one"..to which we'd reply no--then thinking he was sorta funny--he say is it this one in my hand? and give us the loose tooth and it was over before we even knew what was going on...

-I thought that was funny that over time--the errand of "tooth puller" has somehow fallen to me--when time permitted it to be so--I don't know quite how it started?
