Funniest family night ever.

one of the most funniest family nights ever! Luke got a permanent cap put on his front tooth about 2 years ago. Just recently it fell out… and being Luke, he didn’t want to go to the dentist: 1) it would take too much time from his busy schedule 2) the dentist is too far away, and 3) (the big one) it might cost money. So he did what any smart person would do – he Poligripped (you know the stuff for dentures) the tooth back in. All was going well – minus an occasional fall out.

However, at dinner last night while eating pizza, someone noted that Luke’s tooth was missing – and said, “Hey Luke, did you swallow your tooth?” (I can barely type this without laughing.) A panicked look came over his face. “Mom, what should I do?” I calmly told him that he should try to throw up. He tried the finger down the throat thing… drank some water and tried it again… no luck. At this point, the rest of us couldn’t stop laughing… Zac, however, was eating his pizza in the garage – he was too grossed out. Now keep in mind that it was Talyn’s birthday and we had a meeting at the church in 20 min. Luke gave up on the idea of going… you can’t go out in public without a front tooth can you?

Finally I had the idea to give him ipecac syrup (the stuff you use to make a baby throw up if he accidentally drinks poison)… it was an unopened bottle – never had to use it when the kids were babies. He took it. In the excitement, someone knocked over a full glass of coke. Jeff wasn’t yet home yet… Zac was still coming in and out of the garage with that sick, disgusted look on his face. Luke then came back into the picture… with a tooth in his mouth! He had found the temporary tooth that they gave him before he got the permanent one. He Poligripped that one in… and continued to eat his pizza (using his back teeth). Jeff then walked in the door… and we were (surprisingly) good to go.

Remember, however, that Luke (20 min. before) had taken the ipecac syrup (but didn’t feel anything). Luke, Zac and Jake squeezed into the back of Jeff’s car with Luke holding a bucket in his lap. Jake and Zac were fighting over who had to sit in the middle next to Luke. The first 10 minutes of the car ride went well despite the continual complaining that Luke was in the backseat with a throw up bucket and that they couldn’t move because they were sitting so close together – when suddenly it happened. Out of the blue, Luke started throwing up – violently. Jake and Zac were begging to pull over, threatening to jump out of the car. When we finally pulled over, the other boys ran for it. Luke continued to throw up.

By the time everyone returned to the car – Luke was done throwing up and proudly holding the original tooth.We all jumped back in the car to continue the trip. Since no one would sit next to Luke, I ended up sitting in the middle of the backseat. Even though I couldn't stop giggling and Jake and Zac couldn't stop complaining about the throw up, we did made it to our Financial Peace class - in one piece. Thankfully, Luke was able to smile about the whole thing.

Yes i didnt write this but i thought i should put it on anyway because it was so funny :P

hope you enjoyed!
