Ugh…I remember those days when my teeth were loose. My loose tooth got in the way of eating so I asked my mom to pull it out with a string. My children on the other hand didn’t have any trouble loosing their baby teeth.
Do the cool beans trick where you give a big, toothy smile and push it out from behind with your tongue, Calvin. Extra cool beans if it bleeds a little bit.
That was the only thing I disliked about being a Sunday School teacher’s assistant for the littles (ages 3-7): the ones who would come in with, “Looky! I have a loose tooth!” I couldn’t stomach it with my own daughters! LOL
Back in the ’90s I knew a guy who had 2 teeth on top & 1 on the bottom – and as he chawwed his terbaccy (with his mouth open, alas and of course), 1 of the top ones would rotate……..
I loved it when they got that loose. My mom was a nurse. I never showed her because she probably would have said something like, “It’s pretty loose. Let me pull it so you don’t breath it in in your sleep,”

I love this particular strip because it treats Hobbes as just another adult in Calvin’s life like his parents instead of an imaginary friend.

I still recall that good pain… about 70 years later. Except for one that absolutely refused to let go. THAT one just plain hurt coming out.

I remember having a baby molar that took the longest time to come out. Well, it finally did—right in the middle of class!

Betcha Calvin uses that tooth as a “show-and-tell” exhibit—and Miss Wormwood will bring out the pliers she keeps for just such occasions!

Reminds me of pulling my own baby teeth when they got loose as a kid. Some dental floss or a piece of stout thread and I was good to go.

Just don’t swallow it when it finally falls out – or a whole new kid will grow in your stomach.

That’s when you tie it to a string a string and then tie the other end of the string to a door knob.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie ’em in a knot?
Can you tie ’em in a bow?
Can you throw ‘em o’er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?

I’d think Mom and Dad would be used to seeing more gross things from Calvin than a loose tooth.
