My Poor Baby.

[tripperfunster]

Today was fun.

Quincey wanted to take his bike to a local skateboard park, so we packed up the bikes and helmets (and my art stuff), grabbed a couple of slurpees and headed over there.

Not FIVE MINUTES LATER, poor Quince does a face plant on the cement and knocks out his two front teeth!! Like, literally. They were both on the ground a couple of feet from him. I scooped him up (and the teeth) and started spooning the slurpee in his mouth (nice and cold for the swelling and bleeding.) After a few minutes of screaming bloody murder, he recovered enough to get into the car and head home.

Poor Harrison was ripped off, because he's only gotten to bike for a few minutes!

I called my hubby(not in front of the kids) and said "Gee, wouldn't it be great if the TOOTH FAIRY brought home a mouth guard to put under his pillow?"

So, when hubby gets home, what is the first thing out of his mouth? "Hey Quince, I bought you a mouth guard!" *facepalm*

Thanks. Thanks so fucking much. He is normally a very clever man, I'm not sure what accounts for this failboat.






Thank god they were just baby teeth!

Poor Quincey! I hope he gets some comfort from telling his friends about the awesome stuff he was doing on his bike that resulted in the tooth-loss ;)

Dear Quince - you know what? That's pretty awesome. :)

And yes - srs failboat. *headdesk*

I'm sure it didn't feel good at the time, but that's an awesome picture. You've got scrappy kids.

Aww kiddo.

Glad he is okay.

I agree, now he got the most awesome summer story to tell his friends :P

One of my kids faceplanted like that (no teeth knocked out, but totally skinned his whole face) when he was 5. My brother, on the the other hand, broke off both his front teeth when he was like 11 or so. Permanent teeth. Yeah, baby teeth is the better thing here. Heh.

He looks pretty cheerful now that he's done bleeding.

Ooh! Poor kid! Lucked out that it was just his baby teeth! He's looking pretty badass in that photo though ha! At least he's not afraid to try :D ?

awww! Poor little guy. I lost one front tooth when I was 3, I was a climber, and one thing leads to another, nuff said. But yeah, many years until my adult front tooth came in - I think my last school picture with no tooth was Grade 2, so 7 or 8? :(

You can tell him he looks cool, like a hockey player. :D

Poor kid!!! At least he didn't like..swallow them xD

poor kid! Glad he's okay, though.
heh, I don't think your hint about the tooth fairy was subtle enough. : P

Oh poor Quincy.

I would have freaked out. Kudos to you for keeping calm.

Ouch!!! Poor Quincy, and yes thank god they were baby teeth, dentists are soooo expensive.

At least Quincy has an amazingly awesome story to tell his friends. :)

Oh! That makes my mom instincts wail in agony to see his bloody little face! Aww, that poor little guy! Thank goodness you didn't panic (as I know I totally would have) and you had him eat something cold. You're very lucky they were baby teeth, though. I replaced a couple teeth last summer and it had a 3,000 bill attached to it.
Is he proud of the missing teeth now? Like a weird battle scar? My nephew was when he lost his front ones.

Ouch...

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor Quincey! Though I have to admit he looks rather proud of himself there. ^_^

Poor baby! (and baby teeth -- YAY for that!)

[redheadsarehot.livejournal.com]

OMG that pic makes my face hurt! Poor guy!

[hollyboo2001.livejournal.com]

Poor thing, oh his poor little nose too!
Thank goodness they were only baby teeth.
Oh well, no more corn on the cob for him for a while.
Bless him.

Poor kiddo but I am glad he is okay and now he can brag to his friends what a brave, badass kid he is LOL Regarding your hubby - you simply were too subtle. He is a MAN he doesn't really get subtle :g:

[wolfsjal.livejournal.com]

awwww, poor dude. Glad that he's okay now (lol, judging by the picture) and yes, baby teeth is very good news. I was wondering as I was reading why you weren't typing 'and then we took him to a dentist/ hospital straight away' or something to that affect until it sunk in that these aren't his permanent teeth yet. XD

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

OOWWWWW! he looks remarkably proud and unphased. ah, youth. you are such a good mum!

[veridari.livejournal.com]

Poor guy! My daughter knocked both teeth out simiarly at age six. Came off a slide at a McDonald's playplace to get tripped up by some strange kid at the bottom and hit the deck face first. One tooth out, the next tooth dangling (she yanked it out ten minutes later).

Yay for Slurpees! I think you have convinced me that we should always go to playgrounds/skateparks with Slurpees in hand.
