Me: Oh, my tooth hurts.
Maddie (hesitantly): Do you want me to kiss it?
Me: Thanks, Mads, but maybe you could kiss my cheek instead.
Maddie (relieved): ok.

(Later that day.)

Noah: Mommy got her tooth pulled.
Maddie: Does she still have a tongue? She needs her teeth to eat with!

(She came home afraid to approach me but very interested to see the pulled tooth, which of course I brought home to show the kids. I’ll spare you the photo of that!)
