Kitty Tooth Fairy

Oh my goodness heebie-jeebie willies last night! My five-month-old kitten lost his first tooth. But before losing said tooth he had to give me the most awful heebie-jeebie willies. 

I am a mom. I can (and have) cleaned throw up out of bed sheets, car seats, carpets, bookshelves, hair, and clothing. I have rescued bloody noses, scraped knees, split open chins, and dog bites. I have cleaned up pee and poop from dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and a whole menagerie of small animals. I have changed death defying diapers, poop out of the tub, and off walls (not my child might I add). The countless disgusting and icky things I've seen and dealt with cannot be completely valued except by another parent. Or a nurse. 

Yet none of these compare to the icky heebie-jeebies I get when it comes to loose teeth. 

I dread loose teeth. Hated them as a kid and am loathing when Miss K will start to lose her baby teeth in the next year. The gums are just icky ooey gooey blech and the teeth are stuck but not and ick ick ick. Cannot stand it. At all. I'm a wimp and proud! 

Ducati was play biting last night and I felt his canine tooth move. Not just a little bit, but the huge ooey gooey ick ick that it would fall out soon. Instantly I'm whining to husband to come help and rescue me. He, of course, has to have the all-mighty question of, "What do you want me to do about it?" I was not prepared for his genius...

Look! Can you see that! It's pointing forward! Heebie-jeebie oober doober willies time...

I kept checking every five or ten minutes waiting and praying it would fall out so I could go back to playing with Ducati. Finally it fell out once the kids were in bed. So now there is a canine tooth somewhere in my house... If I find it, we are leaving it for the Kitty Tooth Fairy. Courtesy of hubby's wonderful suggestion.

But he's got the cutest little canine tooth popping up. And the other side is loose now =/ I know it looks like he's dying but I swear, he's just really really annoyed with me looking at his teeth.

Now that I've survived this, I think I might possible maybe be able to deal with Miss K's first loose tooth. I'm not making any promises though!
