Momma! I just lost my front tooth!… Hannah said it would hurt for a second, but it didn’t… it was a little scary, you know, because it made a little bit of a crunchy sound when Daddy pulled it?…. No, I didn’t cry!… Oh, hey! Now I have a hissy sound when I talk! Lissssssten! Sssss! Sssssssee, Momma?… and now I can drink sssstuff just closing my mouth and putting it through my missssssing tooth… Momma! Now I’m going to get a sticker on my “I lost my first front tooth” chart at school!… Hey, Momma, did you know teeth are stronger than bones? Daddy told me… And I also know that the sun is the biggest thing in the world. In the universe! It’s bigger than us! And the earth is as small as a pencil dot… eraser. Small as a pencil eraser, huh Mom?! Huh!… Oh! Guess what?! I’m taking my tooth for Show-and-Tell today!… Um…. uh…. would you like to talk to Dad now to see how he’s doing this morning?… No?… Okay, bye Momma! Have a nice day at work!
mini cat — it’s so cute
WOW. I’m tired just reading that!
How cute!
You could totally make money off that kid. I’d pay to talk to her on the phone when I was having a bad day…
I think you should write out that conversation on a 5X7 piece of paper and then get a nice frame and frame it. And put it on your wall and read it once in a while. It’s like a verbal picture of that awesome kid.
