Do Not Eat

When your co-worker gives you a panicked look and mouths to you across the teller line, "Call daycare!" your heart jumps up into your throat and your stomach falls out your butt.

Josh is the primary contact for the boys because he's only minutes from daycare. So if they call me, it must be bad. My knees were shaking as I called. I wasn't ready for what I was about to hear.

"Jackson has a bead stuck on his tooth."

Is he bleeding? Is he crying? Am I really laughing right now? I couldn't even hold it together for the two minutes I spent on the phone while the worried and concerned caregiver tried to explain how this happened.

Josh got to daycare and Jackson was sitting at the front desk. Which is the daycare equivalent of the principal's office. He took Jackson to the car because what happened next might look like child abuse if you didn't understand the circumstances. I wasn't there for the bead removal process. But Josh says he strapped him into the car seat and held his arms down. The anticipation had Jackson all worked up. But Josh gave it one quick yank and it popped right off!
