My Two Front Teeth

At last, Joe's wobbly front tooth fell out.  It had been hanging on by a thread for a while, kind of creeping Julie and Ted out every time they saw it wiggle when he ate. Joe doesn't have a great track record keeping the teeth after they fall out. This time, the story goes, Joe realized it fell out while eating lunch and was able to retrieve it from his mouth. He got to go to the nurse who gave him a little plastic treasure box in which to keep it. At pick up Ted grabbed Joe's backpack which was open and stuffed with all his possessions and the little container dropped on the floor.  Ted almost left it behind thinking it was a toy piece belonging to Kids Place or had dropped out of a neighboring bag, but he held on to it and caught up to Joe to ask him about it.  And so Joe was able to leave something for the tooth fairy to claim his prize.
