More from the sewer scientist
This is older material (April 15)... a few weeks ago, there was a water main rupture nearby. Naturally, I had to take my favorite sewer scientist on a walk to see it.Update on the teeth.
After some "serious" back and forth negotiations, Ethan decided not to put his teeth on the futures exchange. We did settle on a price for his current tooth. Instead of asking for 4 quarters, he talked me up to 5 dimes and 10 nickles. He drives a hard bargin.
I over heard him talking to Scott yesterday in his bedroom as he was counting his money. "Scott, when you start losing your teeth, we're going to be rich."
Speaking of money, for Family Home Evening tonight, we had a discussion about money. We watched one of the best instructional videos on personal finance ever made. The boys enjoyed it tremendously. They wanted to watch it twice.
After FHE I watched this other show but the kids weren't as keen on it. Ethan said it was boring until I turned it off.
E: Wait!!!!
Mr M: What? I thought you said it was boring.
E: I meant it was boring if I didn't get to see the end of it.

This is an older video (3/30/2010) that is kind of long for a single toe grab but I don't have time to edit it. Enjoy as is.Saturday, May 08, 2010
All I want for Christmas... (or I guess in our case Mother's day)
Tooth 1: 5/2/2010
Tooth 2: 5/8/2010
I always looked forward to losing teeth and having my parents play the role of tooth fairy. Even though I knew it was make believe, I still liked the ritual. I would even write the tooth fairy notes. Even though I tried to gently coax Ethan to at least go through the motions of putting under the pillow but he would have none of it. "The tooth fairy is make believe. You are the tooth fairy."
In a business-like fashion, he placed the tooth on the coffee table and asked me for 4 quarters. I didn't know what to do in the moment, so I deferred. After all, I'm really not sure what the value a maxillary central incisor is these days. I'll have to do some more research on this and get back to him. Since we still have quite of few of these to go, maybe I can buy them all now on the futures exchange. I'll see how he feels about that. :)
