Tia's House of Nuts

Thought you all might get a kick out of this.  B's had a loose tooth for some time now, and he's been REALLY afraid to pull it out - he's deathly afraid of blood - not in general, just his own.

So tonight, I stop over to stay with them while my brother went to a funeral and I find KB in the kitchen, digging through their Halloween candy stash.  They're furiously looking and pulling stuff out of the bag, and I said, "What are you guys looking for?"  "Tootsie Rolls or Starburst," they tell me.  Okay.

So I go throw a load of clothes in the dryer and come back to find WHY they wanted those specific candies.  K, in her infinite wisdom, told B how she used to pull loose teeth out by jamming a Tootsie Roll or Starburst up against the offending tooth, biting down, and then pulling the candy - and thus, the loose tooth away.

Guess what?  It worked. 



What a boatload of goofs!!  But I love 'em!

That's Great!!  What will they think of next?

Let's not even GO there!!! 

hahaha whatever works!

Just you wait!!!  Look at that innocent little face!!!!!  Your time is coming!!!  LOL!!!!

Are these lil kids you're talking about here? Helps me get a better visual. haha

They're my niece and nephew, K and B.  I usually speak of them together - hence, KB.  Anyway, K is 13 going on 30, of course, and B is 10.  They're the two halves of my heart.

I don't know WHERE they get this stuff!!!  But they make my soul sing, so I can't find fault with them.

That's great!  I love the way their minds work.

Yeah, Traci......sometimes.  Sometimes they make me crack up, other times......not so much.  LOL

Well, that is the exact reason I had to stop eating  hard chewy candy like the two you mentioned. It's adorable when a kid loses a tooth that way. An adult not so much! It happened on the first piece I pulled out of a bag, and a couple thousand $$$ later I had a beautiful implant!  I shouldn't of eaten the candy, it was wrong on so  many levels!  I bet B will have success when he puts the tooth under his pillow!  Me, Nothing!!   LOL, Leslie
