THE STORY OF MY TOOTH
Yipee! That's the sound of me shouting for joy. I will never forget that summer at home when my tooth came out.
Before my tooth came out I was watching Jackie Chan. By that time my tooth was barely moving. When I was brushing my teeth it became more wiggly. I watched Jackie Chan in the bedroom then my Mom turned off the TV. Then I went to bed.
That very exciting night when I fell asleep it became so wiggly that I could touch the tip of my tooth. When I woke up it was 3:00 in the morning. I wiggled and wiggled until my tooth plopped out. "Whoa!" I said dryly.
I got out of bed and went to the mirror. Simon my dog followed me to the bathroom-he is a miniature schnauzer. When I got to the bathroom I looked in the mirror for blood. No blood in sight. Thats when my Dad came in. "What's going on?" Dad shouted. "My tooth came out" I shouted with glee. That morning I got a five dollar bill.
And thats how my tooth came out. I learned that I shouldnt wiggle my tooth too much.

WHY IS IT?
Why is it that when I call the 800 number on the ATM for service after my card fails to work at 2 banks the lady tells me, "They are probably out of money"?
Why is it that when I call the Cable company to let them know our remote will not fast forward, stop or anything on the DVR but it will do everything else, the lady tells me, "It is probably broken".
Why is it that you have to figure out just HOW to get a real person when you call an (apparently too busy) company?
Why is it that when I went to the Dollar General and used a $2 off coupon on a $2 box of triscuits, it managed to confuse the clerks and hold up the line making me look like the idiot?
Why is it that whenever I go to Winn Dixie (or any grocery store) that I have to carefully watch them scan in the items because it never fails that they over charge me for something?
Feel free to leave your own "why is it"
