My son’s tooth coming loose

Son: Mom, I have a loose tooth.

Mother: I think it is about to come out. A new tooth will grow soon.

Son: But whenever I eat, it hurts.

Mom: What can we do? Let's go see a dentist. Let him extract it. Then you will feel less pain when you eat.

Son: Go to the hospital? I won't. You pull it out.

Mom: Me? I couldn’t. Come here, let me see. Oh, the tooth is very nearly free. Maybe Dad can do it.

Son: No, no way. Dad pulling teeth is too frightening.

Mom: Let me think and find a solution. Let's find a piece of string. Tie one end of it to the tooth and the other end to, let’s say, a doorknob. Then slam the door and your tooth will be out and away.

Daughter: Mom, Mom, I read a joke before. It said that a man wanted to pull out a tooth. He found a rope and tied one end to the tooth and the other end to a horse. He was hoping when the horse took off, the tooth would be pulled out. But he was very nervous. When the horse began to run, he too ran, along with the horse. He ran as fast as the horse.
