The other tooth came out today. With a little spritz of Chloraseptic (to numb the gums), Luke finally let me pull the second front tooth. It was dangling my a single flap of skin, and I simply had to get it out. It was driving me crazy. Luke didn't seem to mind it as much as I did--he was even willing to eat nachos with it in there dangling about.
Anyhow, it finally came out, and now Luke is very proud of the lack of teeth in the front of his smile.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
