Competition

While I was at a meeting for Girl Scout leaders tonight, Ethan lost two teeth! So when I got home, I got to give him two envelopes to put them in, and then we proceeded to put the kids to bed. While we were in the process of brushing the kids teeth and making sure they use the bathroom one last time for the night, Tyra was throwing a fit saying “It’s not fair! He’s lost nine teeth and I’ve only lost eight”. Of course Ethan denied that he has lost more teeth than she has. And Kyle pointed out to Tyra that Ethan is older, and up to this point TYRA was the one that had lost more teeth. So Tyra, in her over-dramatic attitude started demanding to know which of them had lost more teeth. I just told her that I didn’t know and it really didn’t matter. Eventually both of them would end up losing all twenty of their baby teeth, and it really didn’t matter who did that first. But later I consulted with the Tooth Fairy, and with the two teeth that Ethan lost tonight, Ethan and Tyra are now TIED at 8 and 8! Maybe Tyra was really just upset because she has never lost two in the same day?
