The Ultimate Freak Out

I'm a cardiac nurse. 
I've seen ridiculously disgusting things.
I've seen open incisions with guts fully visible.
I've packed gauze into infected chest wounds where a sternum should be.
I've seen things that would give any rational person nightmares for weeks. 
I've taken it all in stride. 


But show me a tooth precariously dangling from a 7 yr old's cutie patootie mouth and watch me squeal, freak out, dance in a circle on my tiptoes and scream "Ewww, ewww, ewww!"


And watch my little girly laugh and giggle that she could make her Momma sweat and want to pass slick out.


S/N: This tooth losing extravaganza reminded me of a tip my Mom gave when I first had children. She said to always have a RED washcloth stocked in the cabinet. When a child loses a tooth or nicks or scrapes themselves, use the red washcloth to "hide the blood" and this knocks out a lot of their anxiety. Works.
