My Luke is getting his braces in nine days!
How can it be that my LITTLEST boy
is actually getting braces?!? I think I
blinked or something . . . It seems
just like yesterday that he was getting
his first tooth.
Luke follows in Zach's footsteps in
that they like to keep their baby teeth
forever. Luke's orthodontist told him
that he would need to have five
baby teeth pulled on Monday.
Needless to say, he did not like that
very much.
When I spoke with the dentist's
office, they informed me that
it would be $625 to pull the
five baby teeth.
Needless to say, I did not like that
very much.
So, like any two rational human
beings, Luke and I came up with
an arrangement: If he pulled
all five teeth by Monday, I would
give him $50.
Being like a typical eleven year
old, he came back a couple
of hours later and figured
out that it amounted to $10
a tooth, proposing that he
would get $10 for each tooth
that he pulled between now
and Monday. I quickly informed
him that this is an "all or nothing"
proposal.
Hence, Luke has been a very,
very busy boy . . .
Two more to go!
