I had to have a tooth pulled at a hospital’s dental clinic a few years ago. Once it was out, I wanted to see what the problem was with it (it had been an emergency). They refused, even though it just came from my mouth; it was now considered a biohazard. It did have to come out; so I guess it was a biohazard when it was in my mouth, too. (Glad I didn’t bite anyone!)
Two kids happy, smiling and getting along well together. Clearly they are up to no good. We can’t have that. Who will help us in our hour of need? Why, it’s Elly Patterson. Elly comes to the rescue! Elly calls upon her power of screaming and she stops the little hoodlums in their tracks. No more talk of peas and spitballs or other seedy elements of juvenile delinquent conversation. Once again Elly saves the day. Yay, Elly!
One time when one of my daughters had a loose tooth, she & her sister were fooling around on the couch. Next thing I hear is, “Mom! Sis kicked my tooth out!”
At my 50th grade school class reunion I asked those at my table what their impression of me was in 8th grade. Consensus was “You were the smart one and the spitball thrower.” Well, I asked for it. :o) There were only females at my table. They, outnumbered the males attending by about 6 to 1. So just remember kids; natural selection favors smart spitball throwers!
What’s wrong! Big brother and little sister are having a friendly interaction. Pretty soon he’ll be showing her how to make obnoxious noises with her hand under her armpit!
There was a guy we knew in Lynn Lake, Manitoba who had a front tooth missing. Into the gap, he would push a cigarette so he could talk and smoke at the same time. I liked this guy. Some folks disappear into the pit of your subconscious. Others you remember for the rest of your life!

What advice would Daddy John give? He is a dentist by profession after all.

Aw, what fun is it to be a big brother, if you can’t teach your younger sibling, all the neat stuff you’re not supposed to ?
