Bloodbath

January 13th, 2007 at 10:21 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

You know, I don’t remember losing a tooth being so bloody when I was a kid. Though I do remember that cool feeling of sticking my tongue underneath the tooth and wiggling it around.

Congrats on losing that first tooth, Preston Jr. You’re turning into a big kid, you.

   Does the “becoming a man” rite at the Holmes household also involve painting the poor kid up like an extra in Braveheart?

   I lost my first tooth playing Evel Knievel on my tricycle, flipping it over and right into a railing. I still have a very small gap in my front two teeth (not horribly noticible, but I can still feel it).

   I’d get a hockey stick in PJ’s hands, pronto. He looks like he’s cut out for it!

   I believe it went down something like this:

   Me: Let’s yank that tooth, boy.

   Jr: First the war paint.

   Me: The war paint?

   Jr: Just in case it turns into a bloodbath.

   Me: Good idea.

   It was either that or his face getting painted at a birthday party earlier in the afternoon. Can’t remember which.

   My kid comes home with his face all painted, I’ll knock out more than one tooth. Just sayin’
