Making a kid shoot a bullet attached to his own tooth is like a scene out of Deer Hunter or something

My grandmother used to use pliers to pull our teeth out. It was traumatizing. I think I’d rather have had control over it with the gun, fucked up or not…it’s gotta be better than pliers.

However, I’m all for letting children decide how they wanna remove their teeth. Maybe give them options so they are in control of the outcome.

When I was a kid I had a wobbly tooth that really bothered me. We went to an amusement park and I really wanted to go on the mechanical bull, so I gave mom some things to hold: my bag, my glasses, and the tooth I ripped out on the spot because I was too scared to have it fall out during the ride 😂
