One infamous orange marble!

(For added fun, read with a little drama.)

Never will another marble, in the history of the world, experience his 15 minutes of fame like this one did today!

He had no idea that today, October 17th--2009, would be the day that he would find his true life mission: to aid in the extraction of one wiggly front tooth from a helpless 7 year old girl.

How he came to discover his true calling you ask? 

He simply remained still, focusing all of his life force on attracting a stumbling little girl.

Like a slow motion replay, he watched as she tripped over a nameless toy in her path, sending her body flying straight towards him!  He waited for what seemed like eternity, and then, she came crashing down, her wiggly tooth colliding perfectly with HIM--the waiting orange orb. It was a perfect marriage.

Oh there was drama. There was blood. Tears were shed. He left her tooth dangling by a thread and then watched as her mother finished off the mission with a cold wash cloth. 

But leave no room for doubt my friend. His deed was indeed heroic. He accomplished what no other person could do. What no other person was allowed to do: move that tooth along in its long overdue exit.

We praise you Oh Infamous Orange Orb. You will go down in our family history as our hero and friend. For you were there when when no one else was. You heard the call and you stood up...uh...well...lay in wait...to meet it!  You set aside your self doubt, your fear, and practiced bravery to the dramatic, glorious, end. And for that we will be eternally grateful. 

Well done my friend. Well done.
