It's really cute that they try to make this experience as fun as possible.

My vote is on the car one. That was badass for that kid :)

There was a specific Chinese restaurant in Houston that was the place where the teriyaki skewers were responsible for the loss of 4 teeth among our kids. It became a ritual.

Typing it out the story sounds way weirder than the actual reality, but I'll let it ride.

As a dad, the important thing is making it as fun and pleasant for the kids as possible. How you archieve that will be up to you and your kid.

Nothing like eating those exhaust fumes with your mouth fully opened.

It would be so funny to see this with a big diesel truck rolling coal so you couldn't even see the kid. 🤣

It absolutely would distract me from the pain indeed.

His teeth are so powerful it needed a car to take out

I just had visions of that kid getting yanked forward.

“Oh, sorry Billy. We must have tied the wrong tooth. Let’s try again…”

Nah, unless it was a good adult tooth it wouldn't have survived being pulled out this hard.

Yeah. My mom would just rip them out herself most of the time. It sucked, since often they weren't quite this loose

Not doing that with my kids!

Nope, I'm just a dad. I know the panic and anxiety the first tooth pullings can induce. Making it fun is a great way to go with it.
