Caleb came running into the kitchen the other afternoon, while I was preparing dinner to go into the oven, screaming that his tooth had been knocked out! And this is how the story goes...
"I ran into the living room and what I saw was a monster standing straight at my head. I said ' Would you like to fight?' I started to fight , but he knocked my tooth out! Then I cleaned the blood up. And then I went into the living room again and I said nothing. But the monster tried to knock another one of my teeth out. Instead I caught its hand and threw it to Brazil."-Okay this is Caleb's fun version.
The real story is that Caleb and Adele were playing a game involving some scarves I keep for dress up play gear. A game of tug of war ensued and Caleb decided to use his mouth to add some strength to his tugging. Adele with all her red headed energy continues to pull and POP out comes Caleb's tooth. Adele really felt terrible. She cried on and off for about an hour after the event. To help console Caleb and her spirit she waited on him, giving him ice chips to suck on to help stop the blood flow and saying nice things like "Don't worry Caleb it will grow back soon." All the while sobbing "I didn't mean to." After sorting out all the details of the situation I told Adele she must be really strong to have pulled his tooth right out of his mouth. It wasn't even loose. She looked at me with wide eyes and said, "I should be Mr. Incredible!"- the end
