And then the real screaming began.....

Cindy called me at 9:15 today. I assumed she was calling to wish me a happy 11th anniversary, but such was not the case (at least not directly)!

She called to tell me that Erin was still at home instead of at school because one of her teeth became super-loose when she was brushing her teeth.

She put me on speaker phone and we both encouraged Erin to do the last little yank and pull it out.

And after just a little coaxing she did!

It was only after Cindy and I jointly (amid chortles) composed the following note to the school that Erin started screaming and gesturing to Cindy that she was going to cut her throat as revenge:

Please excuse Erin for being late this morning. While brushing her teeth this AM her loose tooth became extremely loose and somewhat bloody. Rather than sending her to school bloody and resembling Dracula (even in the month of Halloween) we kept her home to perform a tooth extraction and to staunch the flow of blood.
You're welcome!
Sincerely?
Cindy Floyd
