Lost Tooth

It's traditional.  Every child loses at least one tooth at the Island, but six year old Hannah O'Connor (Angela and Derek's daughter) raised the bar.  When I was her age, my dad tied a thread around my very loose tooth, tied the other

end to the door knob, positioned me the appropriate distance from the door, said, "OK, on the count of three.... " Then, on the count of two for the surprise factor, he slammed the door.  The tooth was left dangling by the thread on the door knob.  Fast forward a generation, and I supervised the same event on one of Jeff's teeth, and yesterday, yet ANOTHER generation, I assisted Hannah in liberating a loose tooth by way of a door knob.  Many cousins were there, and Hannah was hailed as the brave soldier she was, and we will all remember the day Hannah lost her tooth.
