Zoe's "tooth saga" has created some hilarious memories in the Swafford household. Zoe will only allow one teacher at her school to pull her teeth or if she decides to pull her teeth herself she will do so, but her father nor me are allowed to touch her teeth. Maybe threats of plyers or other torcherous teeth pulling techniques have created this fear but her "list of demands" is quite extensive when it comes to her teeth.

The last two teeth she has lost (her two front teeth) have come out while she was at school and of course got lost. The first one came out on the playground and she lost it amongst all the playground rocks. The second one came out in class and by the time I picked her up that afternoon, she had lost it because she and her friends were "playing with it". GROSS!

So... we've had to write notes to the Tooth Fairy each time explaining the "circumstances". She has graciously accepted our apologies and excuses and awarded Zoe $1 for each missing tooth.

A Christmas Wish from Zoe...

"All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"



Every body Pauses and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can seeI don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could onlyhave my two front teeth,then I could wish you"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
All I want for Christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could onlyhave my two front teeth,then I could wish you"Merry Christmas!"
