Giggles and Wiggles

One day, Miss Sparks asks the students if anybody has any news for the class. Spencer and Hallie both raise their hands. Miss Sparks calls on Spencer first because he raised his hand first. Spencer says he has a new joke, and he tells a knock knock joke. All the children and Miss Sparks both laugh.

Then, Miss Sparks calls on Hallie. Hallie says her two front teeth are loose. She wiggles her front teeth. Hallie holds up a little pillow with a pocket on it. She explains that when her teeth fall out, she’ll put them in the pillow. She’ll hang it by her bed, and the tooth fairy will come. Miss Sparks says when her teeth fall out, they’ll put her picture in the Tooth Club.

Connor is amazed! Two front teeth loose at once! Hallie wiggles her teeth back and forth for the other students. Spencer stands up and wiggles his ears. Spencer loves to make the children laugh.

At lunch, Spencer comes up to Hallie and says she should eat her sandwich by using the sides of her mouth, like a flute. Hallie giggles and gives it a shot. When Nathan asks her to wiggle her teeth again, Hallie complies. But then, Hallie feels something in her mouth. She looks down to see one of her teeth has come out! She holds it up so everyone can see it. Hallie is officially in the Tooth Club!
