Each day we would wiggle the tooth a little more but the dang thing wouldn't budge. Finally, Troy had a plan. I WAS NOT PART OF THIS PLAN. I walked into the room to find him convincing her to let him tie a string to the tooth. This way she could just "pull on it a little." Ok. I can handle that.
Next thing I know he has convinced her to tie it to the door. He won't touch it. She can just do it on her own. Hmmmm....I'm starting to get a little skeptical. So is Hallee....
Practice round. She lightly opens and closes the door. Nope. It's not gonna work. I'm thinking "well, it was a good try." 
And the next thing you know. WHAM!!! The door just somehow accidently gets slammed shut and the tooth went a flying. I think my face probably looked exactly like Hallee's!!
The Nanny McPhee tooth was gone, Hallee was in shock, I was thinking "Who in the world does this to their poor child," and Hope and Caymbree sat stunned (then they laughed hysterically). I told Hallee to forget the tooth fairy on this one. I'd go straight to her dad and demand BIG BUCKS.
So Hallee got her $10 dollars for a tooth after all.

OH my heck that is hilarious! Did troy seriously do that. Guess it worked though. Tell Hallee I'd be happy to chip in for that one.
I can't believe that first of all you were able to convince her to let you tie a string around her tooth and second of all that you got a picture of it when it came out!! We have learned that if you slide dental floss under the tooth it pops them right out (at least for Carlie)!!:) She would never hold still for us to tie a string around her tooth!! She already sounds like we are trying to kill her just using the floss (in case you ever hear her screaming)!!!:)
baaaa-haaaa....that's hilarious!!!
My mom did this to me and I swear it warped me for life....I cannot bare to see a loose tooth on a child...I immediately experience fear and panic...can't catch my breath, start sweating and want to cry. She may be ruined for life.
It was worth way more than 10 bucks Hallee.

Hmmm, I think we may have done this with Troy when he was little....so it appears the genetic warping has transcended another generation. So sorry Hallee. I will need to pitch in for therapy.
ok...that's made me laugh hysterically! Now I totally understand why Drew likes Troy so much! They think exactly alike. I've seen everything from pliers in a child's mouth to string around their teeth and door knobs, etc., etc., etc. Teeth is one thing I don't and never have done with my children - Dr. Drew is called in to handle teeth...the root of a tooth is absolutely disgusting! Everyone but me has helped my children pull their teeth - we even had a lego pull one out once!!! Glad Hallee was so bravve - she'll never trust him again. My kids always hated when Drew came to pull their tooth!
