The Drama of the Tooth

This week, as Sisyphus (formerly known as the Warlock) and I were getting ready to go on a trip without Pippi, househunting, Pippi's left top central incisor started getting loose. The first picture is of Sisyphus wiggling the tooth in the hope that Pippi would let him yank it before our trip. He even tied a piece of dental floss around it, but Pippi just wasn't ready to part with her tooth. She likes to wiggle them until they fall out on their own. The second picture demostrates Pippi's wiggling technique. If you look closely you'll see her tongue wiggling wiggling wiggling that tooth. But, all that hard work still didn't get the tooth out before we left. However, Pippi, had a brand new smile when we returned. And I still get to be the tooth fairy because the tooth didn't fall out until the last day of our trip.
