Chip off the Old Block
Caleb approached me while I was creating this blog to inform me that he has chipped a tooth. I can't say I was terribly surprised; after all, he is an 8-year old boy. I was disappointed to learn that it's his front tooth, which of course is a permanant tooth and will from this day forward be permanantly chipped.
I asked him the same question you're wondering now: How did you chip your tooth? Part of me was smiling inside just waiting to hear the answer, which I knew would be interesting.
On the side of the staircase are some nails (one nail on every other step) that we use to hang our Christmas stockings. They only stick out about 1/4-inch, so we decided to just leave them there to be used each Christmas Eve. Caleb decided to remove one of those nails--with his teeth.
I guess that's what I get for making my mantra "If you see something that needs to be done, just do it; don't wait to be asked."

Now I have a tooth ache, and I didn't even get the nail out.
What "inspired" him to do it?? I received my chipped tooth while play fighting with our Siberian Husky for the "lead sled dog" position. I'd say the dog won that fight!
Ok, had to respond to THIS one. That is so funny, in the most respectful way. Art fell and chipped his front tooth as a child (maybe Caleb could ask him HOW someday). In any case, assure him the woman of his dreams will someday surely find it endearing. Also pass along this, Now Art has gained an incredible skill worthy of Olympic gold. He can spit water through his teeth with no effort for a considerable distance in an amazing stream. Hmm, uh, that IS a talent right?
