Sports Injury Earns a Dollar

Ryan started soccer football practice this week and his mate managed to hit him in the mouth with the ball when he was shooting for goal. He managed to dislodge his wobbly tooth and Ryan ended up swallowing it. He was sure it was stuck in his throat and was bummed when I told him as a joke that he wouldn't be able to prove to the tooth fairy that it had come out. I took this photograph instead and gave him a dollar.

Funny we were talking about getting hospital cover for just this sort of occurrence just this week. It would more than likely be for them rather than us. They are both entering a dangerous age for accidents.
