Lesson #437: When you are such a wimp that you cannot actually pull out your own loose tooth with your fingers, look no further than the bathroom drawer for a handy pair of fingernail clippers. They grip that tooth like a vise and will rip that baby right out! Also, FYI, tweezers are TOTALLY ineffective for pulling teeth.
Yes, Allison had decided that she needed some additional help in pulling out her loose bottom tooth that has been at a 90 degree angle sticking out of her mouth for the past two weeks. Quite a look, let me tell you. So, she is in the bathroom looking for tweezers. She asks if she can use them to try to pull out her tooth. Awww, what the heck - why not? They were clean, so I said she could. Well, she tries and tries but can't quite grip that tooth. So, I jokingly say, "Try the fingernail clippers." I should know better than to joke - they always take me seriously (they all need a sarcasm sign). SO, she goes for the clippers, grabs the tooth, and launches it into the sink (where I stopped it from going down the drain). She was SO proud of her accomplishment, and we now have yet another way to remove teeth. This method now joins our previous successful methods of using your loose tooth to open an orange juice container, falling flat on your face on concrete, and getting elbowed in the mouth by your sister.
