Most of you know that I am a worry wart.  I fret internally.  I do know very well that it is a waste of my effort, time, energy, brain power etc.  The busier I am the LESS I worry—thankfully!  I have several friends that understand my very bad habit!

My worrying looked my right in the eyes last night via my little lady.  She comes running downstairs yelling, “I HAVE A LOOSE TOOTH.”  She was so excited.  It is just loose enough to move back and forth.  Her brothers were trying to tell to just pull the tooth on now or she would swallow it…then the worrying begins.  She crawls into bed with me and my five year old little lady sounded so grown up as she fires away questions/statements (though her large tears):

• “Mom I am very worried that I am going to swallow this tooth in my sleep.”
• “Will the tooth fairy come if I swallow it?”
• As she is moving the loose tooth around, “Oh NO MOM the one next to it is loose too!!!!”
• My VERY favorite was, “Mom I am not sure it is worth losing a tooth.  The tooth fairy doesn’t bring enough money to make me want to lose my tooth.”  At this point I am really trying not to giggle-to the point my eyes are watering.
• “Mom I just am so worried…”

(about this time Hubs pipes in – under his breath  – “I think she may have inherited THAT personality trait from you as well.”) My little lady is my mini me-completely me, but I like to tease hubs when she is stubborn that it is all him-even though it not (don’t tell him I just admitted that IN WRITING!).

• “Mom how am I going to go to sleep with this lose tooth!”

The trials and tribulations of growing up!

The tooth has not yet “fallen” out…details to follow how the two teeth make their exit from the little lady’s mouth!!!
