Bad Ideas

There are many things that are pretty bad ideas. So, I am only going to tell you about one of the bad ideas that I ever had.

I was about 7 years old when my first tooth became loose. I wanted to get it out, but I was too afraid to pull it out myself. I went to my dad to see if he had any ideas on how to pull it out. That was when I realized that I had heard that taking a string and tying it around a door knob and your tooth, then shutting the door will get the tooth to come out. My dad got the string and tied one end of it to my tooth and the other end to the closet door knob. My dad asked if I was ready and I gave him the okay. (Note: DO NOT try this when you didn't tell your mom.) My dad slammed the closet door and the string snapped in half. At that time, I heard my mom scream. I looked at my mom and I started crying because I didn't know what else to do.

That same night my mom pulled the tooth out for me. From that ordeal, I have learned to never catch my mom by surprise, especially with ideas like that.
