Ahhh, the power of "the string"

Kids teeth are tiny. Horribly hard to get your fingers on. No gripping area whatsoever. And we pull a lot of teeth around here. When you have 4 kids age 6-8, I suppose it comes with the territory. So rather than mess with trying to get a grip on a wobbly tooth, we use "the string." They all know what I'm talking about when I tell them to go get "the string." And without fail, "the string" does the job. We've used it twice this week already and Carly is on tap for Friday. I like to plan these things. No random tooth pulling going on here. The tooth fairy has a schedule to keep & gets suspicious if she hits the same house 3 times a week.
