Andrew’s Loose Tooth

Narrator Andrew Mom Dad Louie Dentist Tooth Fairy
Narrator: Have you ever had a loose tooth? One that wiggles and
jiggles and just won’t come out? Well meet Andrew, he
knows all about it.
Andrew: Yep, I have a very loose tooth. And even though my tooth is
loose, I’m still going to eat an apple because I’m hungry.
Narrator: There were three big red apples in the middle of the kitchen
table.
Andrew: I love apples!
Narrator: So Andrew reached out, picked up an apple, shined it on his

shirt, took a bite and yelled
Andrew: Yeeee-ow! Mommy, mommy do something about this tooth.

It hurts so much I can’t even eat my apple!
Mom: Open up your mouth Andrew so I can see your loose tooth.
Narrator: Andrew opened his mouth as wide as he could.
Mom: Ooh, ooh, ooh. It’s a loose tooth and I know what to do!
Narrator: She took hold of the tooth with both hands and pulled as
hard as she could. But the tooth would not come out.
"
Mom: Sorry Andrew I just can’t get that tooth out. Why don’t you try
another apple? That might make your tooth come out.
Narrator: So Andrew reached out, picked up an apple, shined it on his

shirt, took a bite and yelled
Andrew: Yeeee-ow! Daddy, daddy do something about this tooth. It

hurts so much I can’t even eat my apple!
Dad: Open up your mouth Andrew so I can see your loose tooth.
Narrator: Andrew opened his mouth as wide as he could.
Dad: Ooh, ooh, ooh. It’s a loose tooth and I know just what to do!
Narrator: Andrew’s dad got a big pair of pliers and took hold of the
tooth. Then he put his foot on Andrew’s nose and pulled as
hard as he could. But the tooth would not come out.
Dad: Sorry Andrew I just can’t get that tooth out. Why don’t you try
another apple? That might make your tooth come out.
Narrator: So Andrew reached out, picked up another apple, shined it

on his shirt, took a bite and yelled
Andrew: Yeeee-ow! Mommy, daddy, do something about this tooth. It

hurts so much I can’t even eat my apple!
Narrator: So they called a dentist.
Mom: The dentist came in a shiny black car. He opened up Andrew’s

mouth, looked inside and said
#
Dentist: Ooh, ooh, ooh, it’s a loose tooth and I know just what to do!
Narrator: He got a big, long rope and tied one end to Andrew’s tooth.
Andrew: Wait a minute! I know what you’re going to do. You are
going to tie the other end of this rope to a door and slam it
to make my tooth come out.
Dentist: No! That won’t work. I have a much better idea. I’m going to
tie it to my car.
Mom: What?! Are you out of your mind?!
Dad: That is absolutely bonkers!
Narrator: The dentist didn’t think so. He tied the rope to his car and
the other end to Andrew’s tooth and drove away.
Dentist: Vrooooooom!
A: Hey! You didn’t pull my tooth out.
Dentist: I know. And your tooth wrecked my car!
Mom: That’s a strong tooth.
Dad: Well Andrew, you just can’t eat your breakfast.
Andrew: Oh man! Then I’ll just sit here and listen to my stomach growl.
Narrator: Just then Andrew’s best friend Louie came along.
Louie: Hi Andrew. You look sad. What’s wrong?
Andrew: I have a loose tooth that just won’t come out and I’m starving!
$
Louie: Did you try pulling it out?
Andrew: Yes. We’ve tried everything.
Louie: I have an idea! I’ll be right back.
Narrator: Louis went inside and called the Tooth Fairy.
Andrew: What’s that noise?
Narrator: Just then the Tooth Fairy came roaring into the driveway on
her big bad motorcycle.
Tooth Fairy: Hi kid. I hear you have a loose tooth.
Andrew: If you think you are going to use that motorcycle to pull out
my tooth, you are crazy !
Mom: Yeah, you’re nuts!
Dad: Yeah, you’re bonkers!
Tooth Fairy: Who do you think I am, the dentist? I am going to use a
hammer to clang your tooth and get it out.
Narrator: The Tooth Fairy tried her hammer but the tooth would not
come out.
Louie: Ooh, I have another idea. I will be right back!
Narrator: Louie went into the house and came back outside with a
pepper shaker.
Louie: Tip your head back Andrew. %
Narrator: Louis put some pepper up Andrew’s nose.
Tooth Fairy: Do you think this is really going to work?
Andrew: Ah, ah, AHHHHH CHOO! There goes my tooth!
Tooth Fairy: See you kid, I need to get that tooth!
Mom and Dad: Now you can eat breakfast Andrew!
Andrew: FINALLY!
Dentist: The end.
