Troublesome Tooth

Last night at supper, Evelyn could hardly eat because her loose tooth was bothering her so much. It seemed that the tooth's roots were completely dissolved, and it was getting in the way when Evelyn would eat or talk. She asked Troy and me several times to pull the tooth, but she just couldn't get brave enough to let us do it.

First thing this morning, Evelyn came to me, holding her snowman and two tissues. She said she wanted me to pull the tooth out, and I could tell that she really meant it this time. I used one of the tissues to give the tooth a gentle tug, and it came right out. Evelyn said she didn't even feel it. Looks like the tooth fairy will be paying her fourth visit to Evelyn tonight!
