Mayim Knocked Out His Tooth. March 16, 2017

I was in my room when I heard Mayim come in. He called for me and I could hear the panic in his voice. He was riding his scooter, trying to jump the curb and he hit the handlebar with his tooth. I heard the panic in his voice, the way only a parent can hear that subtle change in their child's voice. He came into my bedroom and told me he knocked his big tooth out. I reacted the way I normally react when my kids lose their teeth, I screamed and cheered. We've been waiting for this front tooth to fall out for a while. I took him into the bathroom, the tooth was still hanging on, Mayim was shaking, but he pulled hard and his tooth popped out. He stuffed a giant wad of toilet paper up into the gigantic gap, and still shaking, he went outside to mix it up with the neighbor kids, his brother, and the scooter with good aim.
