Watersliding

My neighbor Debra rented a waterslide again for the 4th of July. All the kids were playing happily on it while I was inside getting food ready for the evening. Suddenly, I heard Preston's blood-curdling screams and rushed outside to find his eyes as big as saucers and blood pouring from his mouth. Apparently, he had thrown himself down the slide and caught his two front teeth on the canopy above - they were both GONE! They had been loose, so it was no big deal, and after we got him some ice and calmed him down, everything was fine. Fortunately, all the kids went "fishing" for the teeth and were able to retrieve them so that the Tooth Fairy could visit that night!

all I want for the 4th of July is my 2 front teeth!!
