whit<\/em> when it came to losing that top front tooth.<\/p>\nIt had been hanging from a thread, that tooth, and oh how I ached to wrench it out! Full Disclosure: I am a pimple-popping, tooth-extracting type of mom. My children run screaming from the room when I come near (not really) so I\u2019ve needed to temper these less-than-savory aspects of my personality in order to serve the greater good.<\/p>\n
But seriously? Hanging BY A THREAD, to the point where I was like, \u201cNicky, PLEASE let me help you with that tooth.\u201d He refused, he flat-out refused because he\u2019s a do-it-myself-keep-your-mitts-out-of-my-mouth kind of kid.<\/p>\n
Not that I blame him.<\/p>\n
And so it came to pass that on Divine Mercy Sunday, God gave him the grace of a frosted doughnut served after Mass in the presence of friends (okay, me<\/em>). \u201cYou know,\u201d I remarked, with just a hint of spite, \u201cYou\u2019re going to take a bite of food and that tooth\u2019s gonna come with.\u201d Lo!<\/em> Prophetic words were never sooner spoken because that snaggle tooth suddenly flew<\/em> from his mouth and landed plunk!<\/em> on the table in front of him.<\/p>\nNicholas was overjoyed. We all<\/em> were, really, which is why I\u2019m writing a blog post about it, for crying out loud, and which is why\u2013climbing into the van in the church parking lot later\u2013Nicky engaged the older couple getting into their car next to us. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe it,\u201d he said confidentially, \u201cBut I took a bite of my doughnut and my tooth just POPPED OUT!\u201d The man grinned widely (I mean, who wouldn\u2019t?) and said, \u201cWhat a nice way to lose a tooth.\u201d<\/p>\nAnd it was.<\/p>\n
One might even say that it was\u2026\u201dsweet.\u201d ; )<\/p>\n
