Laughing my teeth out
I am taking the Eldest Son to the dentist today to have eight teeth pulled.
You heard me correctly. Eight teeth.
Last time he had a meltdown over the possibility of three teeth being pulled.
This time I have bribed him by telling him of the merits of laughing gas.
He is now excited and cannot wait.
I think I may be creating a drug addict.
I am a terrible mother.
(And I hope that tooth fairy remembers to go to the ATM...)


Good heavens, it sounds like he will not have enough teeth left to eat with. I hope the poor thing doesn't starve to death!

Funny you should mention kids and the dentist. This was on CNN videos this morning. Shouldn't be funny but it is!

How completely miserable! That leaves ONE kid without oral surgery? You might need some of that laughing gas.

I had four teeth pulled when I was 14 and demanded I go into hospital and be put under. Can't imagine having to have eight pulled. Hope he is ok! (And don't put a video of him on the web!)

This is an adorable little blurb. Poor fella. Terrible mom! *giggles* Love your end note.

My boys have had lots of teeth pulled- they're slow to get them and slow to lose them. I had six removed once as a kid. Glad they're giving him the right "cocktail" to make it less painful and scary.
