Well this evening Bilaal started to complain that his loose tooth was paining even if he didn't bite with it. When I checked I realised that his permanent tooth was more than halfway out already and the milky was just hanging on to the gum. I was very surprised at Bilaal's reaction when I told him the tooth needed to be pulled out. He was totally fine with it, not one bit scared or nervous about the pain. We tried tugging at it a bit, but it was hard to get a good grip. So we decide just like in Charlie and Lola he should bite with the tooth into an apple. And what do you know it worked like a charm!
So he lost his first tooth from his mouth, and then his marvelous mom did something so awful! I went to rinse the tooth in preparation for the tooth fairy, but I opened the tap too wide... And there went the tiny tooth... Down the bloody drain!
"oh no! Oh no!" I shouted from the bathroom.
"what, what?!" shouted Bilaal from the lounge.
"oh no! I'm so sorry Bilaal, your tooth fell down the drain!"
And then of course his expression...well I took that as my punishment for being so careless with such precious commodity. But immediately I saved the situation with some creative licence afforde all parents. I told him not to worry because the minute your tooth comes out, the fairy knows about it and that would still be coming. So we wrote the tooth fairy a little apology note explaining what happened. I told Bilaal that if we put it under his pillow in the special tooth bag (I have a little organza bag) then she will be able to use her special fairy magic to find it in the drain and if she does she will still leave him a coin. He was very satisfied with this arrangement and went to bed a happy boy.
As we speak he is trying his very best to fall asleep despite the excitement. My next challenge: shit I just realised I don't have any money on me!
To be continued...
