Reason #97 why I’m not a teacher: Wiggly Teeth
I don’t like wiggly teeth. They gross me out. They make my skin crawl, and they just don’t look natural at all!
Preston has about 30 wiggly teeth right now…ok, he has 3, but he just lost 2 teeth in July, and 3 more are loose!
The top tooth he lost in this picture hung on for WEEKS by a little thread. I don’t know how he ate anything. It was so nasty! He finally bit into an apple and it came out. I should have given him an apple 3 weeks earlier!
This tooth came out while chewing gum. Thank goodness it wasn’t wiggly for too long.
He loves to wiggle them. He loves to show everyone. It’s just nasty! He may start first grade with about 8 teeth missing, which he’s super excited about! Such a boy!

He gets really excited about the Tooth Fairy, but the Tooth Fairy that comes to our house is very irresponsible. About six months ago she forgot to come. He was worried, but I happened to…uh…find the money for him. You see, it had mysteriously fallen under the bed and he just didn’t see it.
This time, when there was no money under his pillow, my child took all the pillows off the bed, took everything out from under the bed, crawled under the bed. It was perfectly clear there was no money.
When Lilly Katherine woke up, she busted out of the bedroom like a wild elephant, as she does every morning, and yelled, “Preston, did the Tooth QUEEN leave you some money?” He just sadly said, “No. She forgot.”
Well, that silly Tooth Fairy left 4 quarters on the table where Preston eats breakfast. He didn’t buy it.
This week the Tooth Fairy remembered to come. I saw her come at about 3 am, but at least she remembered, and that’s all that matters. I also saw her borrow the dollar from another child’s birthday money, but it will be repaid…as soon as she remembers which child’s money it was.
