Linking up again with Wife Of Awesome, DearBabyG, for my weekly whine.
Miss6 has had one lone wobbly tooth for at least a month. She has been obsessed with it. Every day she asks me, "When is it going to come out, Mummy?"
Every. Single. Day. FFS!? My answers have included the following:
- Soon
- Next month
- In a few days
- After Easter
- When I tell it to
- After you eat your broccoli
- Never
- Ask your father
It fell out while she was asleep, and when she awoke it was gone.
Holy. Mother. Of. Vodka.
I'M GOING IN
I am envisaging sifting through her shit (sadly, not a metaphor) in order to find the tiny tooth that she has obviously swallowed in her sleep.
So that we can keep it in an album or a ceramic trinket box or something, never to be thought of or viewed again. FFS!?
Then I stress about what to do if she craps at school? The tooth will be gone forever. FFS!?
What didn't occur to me, is to write it off, forget about it, and just save the next tooth to fall out and call it the first one.
I was too preoccupied with shovelling shit (again, not a metaphor) to think logically.
Anyway long story slightly less long, I found the tooth. On the floor of her bedroom.
Thank the Vodka Gods for dodging that bullet. Shudder.
One down, 19 to go
