Micah and his sister came over after school with their dad, and dad said, "Hey, Opa, take a look at Micah's tooth -- it's pretty loose, don't you think?"
Sure was, and at that moment I knew what he had in mind (knowing my son).
"Noooo", I whispered under my breath, but it was too late -- he already had Micah back, grabbed that tooth and gave it a pull and a yank, and out it came. Blood was squirting everywhere, tears were shed, but hallelujah, another tooth makes way for growing up. Later Micah said that he'd get a dollar for this. "Inflation" Jean said to me.
...and with the hair removed (see comments for story) ...
