ON THE BACK BURNER

I had a tooth extracted yesterday and I didn't even have the tooth fairy around to cash in on it. Bummer. Where we gave Nichols and dimes for teeth, I understand that the ransom is now into bills. We have a family story , where my young son accompanied me to my routine dental visit. The dentist saw that my son's tooth was just about to fall out. So he asked if my son wanted him to pull it. He said yes and climbed into the dental chair.He pulled the tooth and I passed out. And this was kid number 4. I had had a lot of experience pulling teeth, maybe because this was my baby? I had to call Bob to come and get me and the car. The only thing about me losing a tooth is that I don't have another tooth waiting just under the gum line. If I leave a note under my pillow for the tooth fairy reminding her that we contributed, she will leave me some of her larger bills.
