Has anyone found a whistle?!

Still recovering from last nights dramas.
Kelly's front tooth was hanging on by a thread - yuk
She could turn it completely around and still it didn't come out - double yuk
When she closed her mouth (yes she does do that occasionally!) the tooth stuck out horizontally - triple yuk
Ok so it needs to come out. It is way past bedtime. I sit down on the bed several times to stop my faint feeling. I get my wiggly teeth phobia from my mother and my sister inherited the gene as well. Deep breath. Poor child has trust that I won't hurt her. Feel sick knowing that I will hurt her but take a good grip on the tooth, quick tug and it is out. Blood everywhere, more tears.
Dangly bit of her gum or inside of tooth still hanging there. Her tongue kept touching it. So she got to sleep in my bed, rolled on her side with instructions to hang her tongue out of the side of her mouth. Poor darling. Tooth fairy was generous. $4 to Kelly and $1 to Mum for being brave!! Kelly said she saw the tooth fairy in the night and she was very small. I asked her why she didn't wake me so I could see her too. She replied, Mum you would have grumbled and scared the fairy away. Mmmm my daughter knows me too well.
Oh and Kelly has lost her whistle. She thought it was hilarious that she know does the same toothy airy whistle that I do!
