An Ingenius Plan

Isaac lost tooth number two last night. Although it was without intention, he did assist in its extraction. Just before going to bed, he took some string (dental floss, I believe) and wrapped it around his loose tooth. Then, he took the other end of the string and tied it around his head board. When he went to lay down in bed -- pop! -- out came his tooth.

The interesting part about the whole experience is that he had no intention of extracting his tooth . . . at all! Because he thought that his tooth was going to fall out all on its own sometime during the night, wrapping a string around it was an attempt to circumvent the inevitable -- swallowing it! It was a plan brilliantly devised to keep the tooth tethered long enough to where he then could retrieve it in the morning by merely hoisting up the string.
