Uncle Tooth Fairy

Our 6-year-old daughter had a tooth that was very loose. She asked me multiple times over the few previous days to try to pull it out for her. I'm quite squeamish with such things. So my attempts were not very effective. I tried to tug it out, but when it didn't come out with just a little force, I gave up and told her we'd have to wait a little longer for it to loosen some more.

Well, her uncle wasn't quite so patient with the tooth. I had left her at his home while I helped my parents move some furniture in their house. My brother-in-law had an innovative way to get the loose tooth out. Clearly from the video, my daughter was in no way harmed or in danger. But the extreme nature of this extrication method still shocked me a bit. Anyway, her uncle was at least good for the dollar he promised his niece. And she was clearly happy for not only the dollar from her uncle, but for the anticipated earnings to come in from the other Tooth Fairy.

Enjoy the video, if you dare...

That was awesome, Anthony. I would have never thought of doing it that way! A brother-in-law is handy!

That is cool. We have done that same thing only with dart guns. My kids love to "Shoot their teeth out" I am glad Ella got her tooth out.
