They are few, but they do exist. Twitch has a talent for pulling teeth. Diva and Sproing are at the age when the baby molars fall out. Both of the kidlets have had loose teeth over the past couple of weeks. They will come to me and say "Mom, feel my tooth. Is it ready to come out yet?" and I say "no," because frankly, to me, it isn't loose enough to pull. Not so for Twitch, though. He'll wiggle the tooth and say "sure!" I don't know how he does it, exactly. Superman says he uses dental floss. Whatever the means, out comes the tooth!
Twitch pulled one of Sproing's teeth last night, and yanked another one this evening. When he finally loosed the tooth tonight, there was more bleeding than usual. Twitch admitted after the deed was done that perhaps this tooth wasn't quite ready to come out. Nevertheless, Sproing is thrilled.
And so it was a sign of peace and brotherly love tonight, when Twitched was called to dinner, that he said "I'll be there in a minute. I have to wash Sproing's blood off my hands."

dear me!
Didn't you think something totally different when he said that?
LOL If only Cain had followed Twitch's example and just pulled Abel's tooth.
Of the many ways that brothers bond, the venerable molar pull is one of the most revered.
it's very cliche- but appropriate...
love is a many splendored thing..
You're a little giddy at the blood-spilling, I just know it. You can't hide that evil grin.
Okay that is true brotherly love..there is no way in hell I would do that for my brothers or sisters.
Holy cow, I've got to stop reading this in places where random outbursts of laughter are frowned on. Ow, I hurt my side.
That is awesome; the bonding, the bleeding....

I was terrified when my baby teeth first started coming out. My jackass father didn't tell me that was normal and that I'd get new teeth!
