"    &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to hurt\u2026it&amp;#039;s going to hurt,&amp;quot; Josh said running through the house. Josh&amp;#039;s words were hard to make out with the paper napkin hanging from his lips. He was trying to soak up the blood from his barely hanging on baby tooth. I stopped Josh in his panic, and promised that it wasn&amp;#039;t going to hurt. Bobby offered to pull the tooth out. More panic. I knew Josh wouldn&amp;#039;t go to go to bed until his tooth was out because he feared choking on it, or swallowing it. It was way past bedtime and Samantha was now wailing: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want my teeth to fall out\u2014I don&amp;#039;t want grown-up teeth.&amp;quot; After an hour of negotiating, wiggling and drooling, I finally convinced Josh to try using my finger to tap the tooth. My finger is larger and if he used it maybe his tooth would come out sooner. So he wiggled his tooth back and forth a few times with my finger and POP\u2014out it came. Josh caught it and immediately wanted to call his grandparents. &amp;quot;Grampy, I just wiggled the tooth with my Mommy&amp;#039;s finger and it came out.&amp;quot; (Truth: Mommy gave the little dagger a nudge. For Josh&amp;#039;s well being\u2014and the good of the family, of course! We weren&amp;#039;t pulling an all-nighter over a loose baby tooth.) When we told Josh to tuck the tooth under his pillow he flipped out because he didn&amp;#039;t want the Tooth Fairy to take it away. Fortunately, Bobby jumped in with a plan. He and Josh would write the Tooth Fairy a letter asking her to leave the tooth. Josh&amp;#039;s head hit the pillow as soon as he scrawled his name. Our first kid to lose a first tooth! A special event\u2014even when tired. Now, the big question: What&amp;#039;s the going rate for the Tooth Fairy in 2008?\u2014Julie Weingarden Dubin What memories stand out in your mind about your kids growing up?
