WrenMuffin

Cooking has this effect on us in this house.

It makes us smile ecstatically and then our teeth fall out.

Actually, I hate cooking, so it’s just as well that WonderHubby is so good at making omelettes, pumpkin soup and scrummy roast dinners isn’t it?

Plus he’s generous and good looking to boot.
Love you, hon!

Anyhoo, Wren loves making muffins, but the cleanup?

Not so much.

That’s where I come in.

How to Remove a Tooth…

Or, My Grandma Has a Mean Right Uppercut.

That’s right, Grandma gave Wren a tap under the chin and knocked out the tooth that has been wobbling for six months. Go Grandma.

Not only that, but the tooth tap cut Wren’s gum slightly and the blood ran all down her white school shirt. That was what scared her and had her crying hysterically.

It didn’t bleed much or for very long, and the bloodstained shirt was quickly whipped off and into a bucket of cold water to soak. It looked a whole lot worse than it really was…

Of course, blood always looks so dramatic on a white background, don’t you think?

It made me think though, and I now realise that this is why the walls with bloody handprints on tv are always white.

It’s also why tv murder victims always decide to wear white tshirts on the day they’re going to have their throats slit. Much more photogenic.

But I didn’t whip the camera out this time.

We were too busy washing the floor with bleach like they do on CSI.
