Oh yeah, this one was easy. Once dad checked his teeth at bedtime and told him that one could go, CT thought about it for about 2 seconds and then started chanting, “GET THE GEL, GET THE GEL!”

What’s the gel you ask? Well, I had been to the dentist the night Adam pulled CT’s first tooth and I happened to have a conversation with the dentist about the tooth and how scared CT was about it being pulled out. He gave me two packets of Novocain gel. That night, Adam put on the gel and no pain, no problem, out came the tooth.

Last night, CT wanted the gel and Adam forgot where he put the other packet. So with out skipping a beat, Adam picked up a trial size tube of Crest, told the kids we had bought a whole tube of the gel since we will have a lot of teeth to pull and then put it on his tooth. CT said he felt it working and so they began the pulling process. CT gives it a try first and then Adam yanks it right out.

This morning PJ and CT were talking about the tooth, the tooth fairy and the pulling of teeth at the breakfast table. In the midst of the conversation PJ looks right at CT and says, “Yeah, I tink dat just tootpaste dad put on yous toot.”

I didn’t say a word.
