Imagine it......it's almost 10pm and the 2nd last night game of the summer is about to start!
Legend Quest II is being explained to the kids in the chapel while elliot and isaac are getting their glow sticks taped onto their dark clothes because they are planing on running through the forest, tagging kids and being the ZAPS!!
Elliot needs another piece of tape for his glow stick, so of course he is going to try to rip it with his teeth {side note: his bottom front tooth has been a little precarious the last few days....}....so he goes to rip it, the tape thickness gets caught between his wiggly tooth and his solid one, he pulls the tape out (not realizing its a little wedged), and his tooth goes flying out into the sky tooth-tied-to-slammed-door style!!
I guess he realizes what has happened as the light hits the tiny tooth mid-air and its too much for his 6 year old brain to handle, so he does what he does best --- he screamed.
All staff stop, drop what they are doing and try to consol him {where, if you know this kid, often just makes it worse}. So, at this time, Ashley had just left, I was on the couch as Isaac bursts through the door, panting, wheezing 'ma!! elliots crying!!'....thinking the worse, i grab my shoes and we hop on the quad as he finishes the story of elliot 'tape, tooth, lost, etc'. By the time i get to the nurses station, he is sitting there red faced, visibly on deaths doorstep, clinging to his little cup with the baby tooth in it and a little gap where his tooth used to be before being rudely evicted by some tape meant for a glowstick, not a tooth.
He tells me later that it was Eric who crawled around on the floor and found the tooth!! And in the program room, that is a major feat consider the chaos that happens in there prior to a game!
He got a dollar under his pillow and just now walks in with it and proclaims that he is going to buy a Skylander ($10!), which leads us to a little money counting session and he recounting his dream to me where he is in the monopoly game and he had to slide down the slide and get off to go to Imadene. He also asks if he can keep the toonie i had brought out for our little money session, and i say yes if he agrees to no screen at all today....he slides it back across the table to me, disgusted....no dice.
