Keegan is seven and yesterday he lost his first tooth.

He has been excited for several days about his three loose teeth and yesterday asked Mary to help pull one. Well, being the good mom that she is she tied his tooth to the doorknob but when Keegan got scared she promised to not shut the door. She was going to let him do it when he was ready. After several minutes of agonizing over whether or not it was going to hurt, he was about to back out, but asked if he should go get a wash cloth in case it started to bleed. Mary, being the sly and intelligent woman that she is said, “Yeah, why don’t you run to the bathroom to get that.” Without thinking, he took off, reached the end of the string and the tooth came right out. It was awesome.

Aren’t moms great?
