.....uhhhmmmm.....uhnnnnnn......
I’m sure he’s been investigated for Tea Party membership already.
LOL, brings back memories. Our dad tied floss to tooth and then the doorknob. Slam the door, job was done.
WOW was I wrong I figered he told the kid to keep his eye on the ball, quickly knocked him out with the golf club and then wrapped some dental floss around the tooth and yanked that sucker out. ;-)
Has the dad posted bond yet?
My grandfather, God rest him, tied one end of the string to my tooth and the other to a door knob. Then he slammed the door shut.

Probably a hoax. Hope it is...
If it’s not, the guy is a looney tune and should be locked up. Not to say that a parent should not pull a child’s baby tooth, but there’s way too much chance of damaging gum tissue with such a stupid thing as this.
The father used ingenuity (I may have seen this on the 3 Stooges), humor and self reliance to accomplish a task that used to be mundane but to many is now overwhelming.
Obviously he should have taken the tyke to a transgendered, undocumented migrant healthcare worker for the proper gender counseling and an abortion.
I can actually remember the pain of my baby teeth coming loose and it would take forever for them to fall out naturally. Luckily, I had a merciful big brother who took care of it with dental floss, door knobs and doors.
This is a creative method. Glad my brother did not think of it. : )
We did a chair, a door handle, and a rock, a few times. Kids will try just about anything once.
That’s VERY DANGEROUS!!
He tee’d it up right next to a sprinkler nozzle!!!
Could’a hit the sprinkler and judging from the gutter conditions behind him, he’s not too handy around the house.
How do you know when the baby tooth is ripe for pulling?
And what happens if you do the doorknob trick too early?
In The Fighting Sullivans movie, dad shows a son how he will tie the string to the tooth and a doorknob, then dad loses his gold tooth during the demonstration.
Here, hold muh beer.
I never understood the need to “pull” a baby tooth. They just work loose and come out fairly easily with minimal pain on their own, eventually.
At least he is not standing on the dog.
I’ve told this before on FR but here goes again. Daughter’s two front teeth were loose. She and hubby were swimming and he was pulling her around by a rope attached to a floatie. I had a mommy moment and went rushing to the door to tell her not to put the rope in her mouth but as I put my hand on the doorknob she let out blood curdling screams. She ran in the house with blood streaming down her face and was crying something terrible not about the teeth but that the Tooth Fairy wouldn’t be able to find the teeth.
That happened in the summer and by Christmas there was no sign whatsoever of new teeth coming in. We took her to see Santa and told her to tell him all she wanted for Christmas was her two front teeth. The next morning both teeth were halfway grown. Neither of us ever saw anything like it. A Christmas miracle.
