Plumber Update, Grandson

My cute butt plumber is back, but today he has a charcoal grey t-shirt firmly tucked down his pants.

My grandson, age 5 & 1/2, has his first loose tooth! (Isn't that kind of young? I thought 6 - 7 was loose tooth age.) Anyway, he came running to his mother today sobbing his little heart out with tears pouring down his face and told her, "Mommy, mommy! My teeth are going to fall out... I DON'T WANT TO BE A MAN YET!!! WAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Poor little guy. There's just so much pressure involved when you start to lose your baby teeth.

Swami! You are a granny? How cool!

You have 2 girls and a boy? How many grandchildren?

One grandson, from the daughter I had in my first marriage to the absent-minded professor.

I was way too young to get married, which explains why I am so very (ahem) youthful while still being an old woman who remembers the 60s.

Threaten to yank out the teeth by tying astring to the tooth and a doorknob.

*shudder*

Seana said...

Some of DD's friends were losing their teeth when they were 5. Of course now they're a chole class of gap-toothed kids.

Poor little guy. Maybe the Tooth Fairy will make things all better.

Last flag!

Swami said...

LOL Seana! I just followed your link over at the other place. For those keeping track, the first words Seana ever said to me over there were "this is the lamest thing I've ever read" and "you suck!" I love it!

*smooches* for Seana, and you better watch out 'cause now I know where you live!

Still laughing. I totally forgot I wrote summaries for that Branson show...

Swami <---where sucking is an art form

Poor kid. ...but I have to *giggle* about it because that's funny! What do you think he'll do when he starts to grow hair in odd places? *grin*

I think a lot of kids start to lose their teeth in around kindergarten, which would put them at an age between 5 & 6, so it sounds about right.

I just wanted to let you know that I finally linked your blog. You should check it out. *giggles*

That does seem young. Of course, Rotten1 was 7 when he lost his first 2 teeth and now he's 8 with his 3rd & 4th loose teeth. My neice was 6 when she lost her first couple.

Anyway, *smooches* to Swamigrandson just because he sounds super cute!

Monstah said...

Pssst. The whole losing teeth story really calls for a Cadmus reference, no?

Bravie said...

Awwwww very cute.
Just for fun you should tell him that when a hair grows on another part of his body, it means that it is coming from his head. So the hairier other parts get the more bald he will grow on his head.

Seana said...

Hee. I was so afraid someone would take me seriously and flame my ass.

I never watched that show, you know. I just went to that forum. I used to be quite a summary-aholic.

Carey = meanie *snort*

*off to Google "Cadmus"*

Swami said...

My grandson is really a cutie. I will have to post some now-you-see-them, now-you-don't pics of him one day.

Monsty, your knowledge of Greek mythology appears to leave mine in the dust!

Actually Seana I was all mad and ready to flame away when I first read your comment. Then while I was trying to think of just the right flaming words to say, I reread the comment and suddenly got it!

I used to love the whole summary thing too. Now I don't even read them.

I think the plumber was well-tucked because he knew you were looking the other day!

Swami said...

HD - yeah, probably.

arkie said...

I really think you should take a picture of his butt for us. Tell him you were wanting a picture of the work in progress. *grin*

I remember kids losing their teeth in Kindergarten. My DD lost two teeth this weekend. You know they're growing up when they just toss 'em in the trash. LOL!
