Shoogly tooth

Helen: What are we blogging about?

I don’t know.

Helen: Can we blog about my shoogly tooth?

If you like.

Helen: Yay!

So, what are you going to tell me?

Helen: Well, I have a really wobbly tooth beside the one which came out a few weeks or months ago. It’s very wobbly and I wonder when it’s going to come out?

You tried eating an apple today…

Helen: Yeah – I tried eating an apple today.

And that didn’t work.

Helen: Yeah – because once I had an apple, I thought: “Why did I choose to have fruit? Why didn’t I choose an orange?”

Why would an orange have been better?

Helen: Because it’s not as hard as an apple, I think.

But I thought you wanted your tooth to come out?

Helen: I didn’t want to have it too wobbly and then I noticed: “It’s going to fall out.”

When do you think it’ll fall out?

Helen: Maybe in a few days, maybe in a few weeks. Not sure – but I’ll tell you when.

I’ll be amazed if it’s still there in a week.

Helen: Let’s see who’s right. I said a few week or a few days. Or, if I’m unlucky, maybe a month. We’ll wait and see.

Leave it for the Tooth Fairy?

Helen: Yeah.

What does she do with the teeth?

Helen: Well, I don’t know – but I know she takes away your tooth, it’s like a little swap. You give her your tooth and she gives you maybe £2 or £1 – you never know. I wonder if it’s how clean your tooth is? Because once Lulu got 10p for her tooth, and that wasn’t much.

Tooth

What happened last night, Helen?

Helen: My tooth fell out.

Scott: I’ve no idea…

Helen: My tooth came out.

Scott: Jinx.

How did it come out?

Helen: Well, Scott was lying on the floor and tripped over him.

Scott: So…

Helen: It came out and it was really bleeding.

Scott: I thought you had died…

Helen: At first I thought my chin was bleeding, but then I realised it was tooth. And the Tooth Fairy left me £2.

Was it sore?

Helen: Eh… Yeah – a lot. And there’s a new tooth growing behind.

What age were you when you lost your first tooth, Scott?

Scott: I have no idea.

Older than Helen?

Scott: Maybe.

Helen: Yeah, he was – he was seven.

How do you know?

Helen: He told me.

Scott: You weren’t even born.

Helen: You told me. He bumped into a church and his tooth came out.

Is that true?

Scott: None of it – it didn’t come out when I bumped into a church. That’s a complete lie.

Did you tell your friends that, Helen?

Helen: Yes.

Scott: You dope…

What did they say?

Helen: They just laughed.

Scott: Because they didn’t believe you…

Helen: Yes, they did. They said: “I  believe you and that’s so funny.”

Tooth

What are we talking about?

Scott: Eh… Well, I lost a tooth today.

Was that the best thing that happened?

Scott: Yeah.

Or the most interesting?

Scott: Probably.

What did it feel like?

Scott: Scary. It was like chewing and then I thought: “Tooth – it can’t be.”

Does it feel strange?

Scott: O.D.D. Odd – it feels odd.

Odd bad or odd good?

Scott: Just odd strange.

And you’ve also been playing with my old guitar that Grandpa brought yesterday.

Scott: Yeah.

What’s that been like?

Helen: Great.

Scott: Eh… Reasonable. Just that one person (points to Helen) is too evil with it.

Helen: No, I’m not.

Scott: Blah blah blah.

Are you good at playing it?

Scott: No.

Helen: Yes, I am.

Scott: No, you’re not. I don’t want you to be in this episode – ding.

Would you like to learn to play the guitar?

Scott: I wish I could.

What kind of music would you play?

Scott: I don’t know.

No idea?

Scott: Em… It’s really amazing that I lost my tooth one day after it got properly wobbly.

Will the tooth fairy come tonight?

Helen: If you smile, she’ll know you’ve lost a tooth. What do you hope she’ll give you?

Scott: Who knows?

Helen: It might be Lego. This is the first time she’s come since I was five.

Another lost tooth

Scott: I was wanting to talk about how I lost my tooth.

Okay, what happened?

Scott: Well, you were brushing my tooth and my tooth fell out.

How many is that you’ve lost now?

Scott: Eh… (pause) Seven.

Wow.

Scott: That’s my seventh.

How many more have you got to lose?

Scott: Eh… You mean counting the canines?

Yes.

Scott: Eh… (counts teeth) 13.

You seem to be losing them more quickly now.

Scott: Yeah.

You lost the first ones slowly, now they’re coming quickly – does that make sense?

Scott: I might lose my next one tomorrow. (laughs) Or I might lose one every hour.

Do you have any more wobbly ones?

Scott: One.

Where is it?

Scott: Well, it’s on the right… Eh… Beside my front tooth – to your left. Left bottom front tooth – top though.

You’ll leave it out tonight for the Tooth Fairy.

Scott: Well, yeah.

How much do you hope you’ll get?

Scott: £2. Everyone please tell your friends about this and then we’ll get lots and lots of reads from WordPress.

I hope the Tooth Fairy comes, do you?

Scott: Yes.

You better go to sleep quickly, then.

Scott: (pretends to go to sleep)

Safari

Today we went to Blair Drummond Safari Park.

Scott: I thought it would be more of a subject in my lost tooth.

Yeah – you lost another tooth tonight.

Scott: I didn’t know why – I was eating out of the other side of my mouth. Like, seriously. It was hanging on by a thread – and I was eating a Snack A Jack.

So, safari park…

Scott: Yes. I took some photos – why don’t we put them in the blog? What was that game called again? It was Mario, but what?

Crossover.

Scott: Crossover!

How was the safari park?

Scott: Good.

What was the best bit?

Scott: Was actually seeing giraffes, rhinos, elephants… I mean, seriously – elephants! Three elephants, three giraffes, four rhinos… Lots of meerkats, some sleek-tailed meerkats.

And the sea lions were great.

Scott: Like… It was amazing when it jumped out of the water and went in. And remember when they were standing at their desks and they behaved really naughtily when the person wasn’t looking?

You fed some goats too.

Scott: Yeah – out of my hands. Sometimes it seems as if they licked your hand – but they don’t.

And you even had a shot on the dodgems as well.

Scott: And I did the water thing two times.

What a fantastic day – one of the best?

Scott: (singing) I want to do it again, do it again, I want to do it, do it, do it again…

We also shot a tiger - with a camera, of course...
