Losing teeth

In the last week, three children have lost teeth. It has been so exciting for them. A couple of others have loose teeth. At times it seems to be the only thing on their minds. I can remember when I was a child and had a loose tooth. I would wiggle it. I would pull and push on it trying to get the tooth to come out. It always seemed forever from the time I realized it was loose, to the time it would finally come out. Once it was out I was consummed with placing my tongue in the hole in my mouth. Until this week I had not thought about that time in my life in along time. It is funny, the things we remember, and the things that stir those memories.
