Nathan had a toothache because his tooth was so loose. He couldn’t sleep because of the ache.

“Dad, my tooth hurts. Can I try to get it out?”
“Sure, get a kleenex.”
“Dad, don’t pull it out. I want to pull my own tooth out.”
“OK.”

Nathan pulled for almost an hour, and Mom thought he was staying up too long, so she said, “Go back to bed, Nathan.”

Later that night, when his Mom & Dad were sleeping, Nathan crept quietly into the bathroom, got a kleenex, and slipped back into bed. He started to pull and wiggle at his loose tooth, but it still wouldn’t come out.

In the morning, Nathan wiggled and wiggled and pulled and pulled, and this time he pulled it out! When he showed his Mom & Dad, they were very happy.

Mom said, “How did you pull your tooth without crying?”
Nathan smiled and left Mom & Dad to figure it out.

Nathan sure is brave!
