The Armstrong Family

Story 40- Look!

"Daddy! Daddy!" a four and a half year old Jakob yelled as his father walked through the front door of the house.

"What is it, buddy?" Billie Joe asked enthusiastically, placing his guitar case on the floor and picking up his youngest son in return.

"Look!" the small child shouted, showing off a gaping hole in the front of his mouth where a tooth should have been.

"Oh, wow," the 31 year old smiled and set his son down on the floor, "When did that happen?"

"Around lunch time!" the little boy yelled, unable to control the volume of his voice, "I was eating and it came right out!"

"So...you're a big boy now that you lost your first tooth?" Billie Joe questioned his youngest child.

"Yeah! And mommy said the Tooth Fairy's going to come tonight! ....and she'll bring me money!" the boy grinned, still showing off the whole in his mouth.

"That is so cool, buddy." Billie Joe said, messing up his son's hair, "What are you going to do with the money?"

"Well..." the four and a half year old shrugged after a few minutes, "I don't know."
