Friends help friends pull teeth

Shane picked Paige up from the bus yesterday. He said she sounded funny. "Let me see your teeth" he said. The front one. . . gone. That's three teeth in 1 week. THREE. Our neighbor friend was in the car, excitedly telling how Paige's "friend" had pulled out the tooth. Paige was acting so funny about the whole thing, like it was some big secret.

Me: Did Shawn help you pull out your tooth?

Paige: (looking at the floor) yes

Me: Why are you so nervous to tell me? Did Shawn tell you he was going to help you pull out your tooth?

Paige: No, he didn't say anything. I just said, will you help me pull out my tooth 'cause I want some more money. Then, he helped me.

Wow, true friend there. That boy really must be smitten.

Tyler says she looks like this:

Nah, she's much cuter.

She says that the kids with the best-looking pictures on the wall at school are missing lots of teeth. Umm . . . o.k.
