The Google Searches From This Post Are Going To Be SO Frightening
I swear I'm not a squeamish person, but there are a few things that make me twitch. And possibly throw up in my mouth. And maybe pass out. The word "moist" is on that list, as is the word "panties" and if you use the two of them in a sentence together, I'm never speaking to you again. ::PUKE::
I think number one on that list is loose teeth. Teeth in general are gross, but when they're all wiggly and start waving goodbye at me, I DIE.
Guess who has a tooth that was waving goodbye at me all through dinner tonight.
AAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Alexis is completely oblivious to how absolutely disgusting it is that her lower front tooth is twisted sideways and flapping every time she takes a breath. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't think she knows about that whole thing where the Tooth Fairy trades cash for incredibly disgusting little baby teeth (and puts them WHERE? is what I want to know), so she's in no hurry to yank that thing out.
NEITHER AM I. YOU WITH THE LOOSE TOOTH BEST KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
The kid started getting her baby teeth when she was four months old. That means teething was a looooooong drawn out process. As far as I'm concerned, I've paid my dues when it comes with dealing with things happening in her mouth, so she should have to keep those teeth for A VERY LONG TIME POSSIBLY FOREVER. Why go through all that pain and misery only to have those damn things fall out just a few years later? WHY? WHY? WHY?
I'm doing everything I can to make sure that tooth falls out anywhere other than in my presence. Apples are getting packed in Alexis' lunch, along with carrots and rocks because WHY NOT? Go ahead! Chip those baby teeth! They're just going to wave goodbye at me for months and then fall out!
Anybody got a pair of moist panties they'd like to trade for one loose tooth?

Hahahahaha. I so understand. BB has lost six and I have gagged EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME. I mean, HONESTLY. GROSS. BB got his 1st at 3months. Teeth are hell.
Also, this picture? Wow. Gorgeous. And she looks... older? Sigh.
Just you wait until those new, shiny teeth need braces. Give me the wiggly, gross ones any day. THEY'RE FREE.
I could come deal with those for you. There isn't much I'm good at...but teeth? I can do teeth. (Though that might have something to do with the fact I started delivering baby livestock when I was 14. So teeth are like a -12 on the 'gross things I've had to deal with' scale.)
Makes me gag too. And every time someone posts a photo on FB of her kid's empty bloody socket I want to puke and then hit them in the face with a shovel. One of my biggest pet peeves. YUCK ICK ICK
You need to send her on a trip to a random store with someone else... That's how I lost my 1st tooth. Went to a store with the neighbor, she pulled it out. I hate teeth, dental work and dental surgery. But I'm sure I'll be the person to pull out Little C or G-Man's teeth.
I knocked Meg's first loose tooth out by accident. It was pretty loose and I was zipping up her winter coat and my hand slipped and hit her in the mouth:(. I can honesty say I knocked her tooth out.
I am right there with you on this topic. I am not one to be grossed out easily, but wiggly teeth are the worst. shudder.
My mom saved ours. Found them in a little box on her dresser during my nebby stage. Ruined the tooth fairy for my sister... and I was grossed out to the point of never saving any locks of hair or baby teeth for my own spawn.
Take her to IKEA (I know you're looking for a reason to go, right?). Oldest Boy opened a display drawer and bonked himself in the mouth, knocking out his first tooth (which had been loose for MONTHS). OR you could go to Disney and have lunch in The Land at Epcot, where he lost his most recent tooth. OR you could be driving down I79 doing 75, er 65 mph and have it happen requiring you to chuck a box of tissues to the back of the Space Shuttle and hope for no blood on his school clothes. {SIGH} Always an adventure!
PS The Tooth Fairy around here leaves dollar bills sprinkled with fairy dust (white glitter). It's MAGIC!
Those are my two most hated words as well. Moist is THE WORST. Hate that word.
I'm not a fan of teeth either. My mom once suggested I go to dental hygenist school and I thought, she doesn't know me AT ALL. Crazy.
Good luck!
i'd have pulled that tooth on saturday if you would have let me. teeth don't bother me.
the word panties is a weird word. i've taken to calling them underbags just to show my disdain.
I'm a Girl Scout leader and luckily our girls have outgrown loose teeth by now but I too am grossed out by them. One weekend camping trip it seemed like they all had one ready to fall out at any minute and every one of them needed to make sure I knew all about it.
"Look how wiggly it is!" over and over.
Even more luckily, one of the parents with us was a dental hygienist so when one did actually fall out I had a professional right there to deal with the grossness.
