For Christmas, 1991, we traveled down to visit Mom and Dad in Snowflake. It was a long drive, and the kids often got restless, and on this trip they started to play fight in the back of the van. PJ was in the middle row of seats and Rachel was in the back row. They were both pulling on PJ's "green and purple rope" playing a sort of tug-of-war. At this age, they were pretty evenly matched as PJ was big for his age.
So they pulled back and forth for a while, and all of a sudden, Rachel slipped, fell forward and hit the back of the middle seat with her mouth. It wasn't really painful because it was padded, but the impact was hard enough that it knocked out her loose front tooth!
Later, when we got to Mom and Dad's house, PJ jumped out of the car and exclaimed, "I bumped my sister and a piece fell off!" This phrase has become a classic in our family.
