Kate: Mom, when I move my mouth like this, it feels like my teeth are loose, but then when I stop, they really aren't.
Me: They must really love it in there. They don't want to leave!
K: Yeah. Maybe they will stay in until I'm 18. Then, when my new teeth come in, they will be super strong, so I can bite down trees, like a beaver!
M: Hmmm. I doubt it. And, I don't think they will really stay in there until you are 18.
K: When did you lose your first tooth?
M: I think I was in 1st grade, like you.
K: So, maybe they will get loose soon. But, they must not want to go. They like their job in there. They don't want to lose their job! It is like the Great Depression in my mouth! No one wants to lose their jobs!

That is hilarious! My first grader also has "Great Depression of the mouth". Nothing even close to wiggly. If she's that concerned, have her dad yank a few! He'd probably even give her a family discount, no?
so cute!
Great theory! She's such a cutie.
Ha,! Kate is such a cutie pie!
She is not only hilarious, but darling! Loved this story.
Zac didn't lose his first teeth until 1st grade either...and then he lost 7 in 6 weeks! Fortunately her smile is so darling with those baby teeth, and I am super impressed at her use of the Great Depression reference! :)
How on earth does she know about the Great Depression! Wow.
Mary just lost her first tooth not too long ago, so we understand the pains of being in first grade with all of your teeth. Kate is so cute.
There is NOTHING depressing about THAT beautiful smile. Keep em Kate. You are growing up too fast anyway! xoxoxoxo Gram

So funny! Great job on the history lessons MOMMY. She is the cutest girl!
