Petra and Her Teeth VS Happy Air: Part One

Petra has an extra tooth. We were hoping it would come down before her top, front right tooth came down but it didn't. Dr Houri, our dear friend and pediatric dentist, decided if she removes Little Guy next to Righty, maybe just maybe, Righty will move over just a bit to allow that lousy old extra tooth to descend. Then, of course, as soon as it descends she can nab it ASAP so that Righty can go back where he belongs before it's too late and he's set up camp in Little Guy's spot . . . permanently. You know, cuz while I have a lot of good feelings about the British in general, man oh man do they have some gnarly teeth.

Oh, the joys of Happy Air. The freedom. The warmth. The jolliness. Once that little mask of nitrous oxide was snugly cozied up to Petra's schnoogie the whole world became a better place for that girl. She started singing "If you're happy and you know it clap you hands", poor Dr Houri had her work cut out for her cause it just doesn't seem simple to me when you gotta remove a tooth from the mouth of a little girl who is hootin' and hollerin' and clappin' up a blessed storm. Then she began laughing full belly chuckles every time she said the name 'Maddie', can't say why our dear Maddie is so funny to Petra, but she darn near ruptured her spleen with all her laughing. Later she got a bit somber while telling Dr Houri all about how she did the math and she'll be too young to be in the 2016 Olympics, but perked up when Dr Houri asked her about Maddie again. She didn't make a peep when Little Guy came out and when he was placed in her hand she held him up to the light, observing it like it possessed magical, mystical, rainbow-unicorn powers.


Once the extra tooth comes down, we're back to lovin' on the Happy Air for a little R&R and yanking.

This morning she's $5 richer cuz' apparently that sneaky Tooth Fairy places a premium on pulled-out nitrous oxide teeth.
